Extract

This species has received so few notices from collectors of parasitic Copepoda that it might be judged uncommon. Thus Krøyer (1837), originally placed it in the genus Lernaeopoda having but a single specimen at his disposal the host of which he had forgotten; subsequently it has been recorded by Olsson (1869), who was the first to place it correctly in the genus Brachiella. This species has also been recorded by P. J. van Beneden (1870), by T. Scott (1901), by A. Scott (1904), and collected by L. Harrison Matthews, as mentioned by me (1926), at Plymouth.
