Extract

Copepods belonging to the genus Lamippe live in the gastrovascular cavity of several alcyonarian genera. Eighteen species of these copepods are known (Zulueta, 1911), nineteen if the variety L. rubra decolor Zulueta 1908 is raised to species rank as suggested by Heegaard (1949). Each species is highly preferential in its choice of a host. Only one species is known to parasitize more than a single species of coelenterate, namely L. rubicunda (Olsson, 1869) which lives in two species of Alcyonium.
