Abstract

Short illustrated descriptions of four species of lernaeopodids namely Thysanote nudibrachiata n. sp., Brachiella cybii n. sp., B. malabarica n. sp., and Clavella ovata Yamaguti are given. Each species is of some special interest. T. nudibrachiata lacks processes on the maxillae, B. cybii is perhaps the largest on record and C. ovata is the first authentic record of the genus from the Indian waters.
