Extract
Mesophryxus, a new genus of phryxid isopod is described. The only species, M. ventralis, is a parasite of Harpiliopsis beaupresi (Audouin) to which it is attached on the ventral aspect of the sixth abdominal segment, behind the fifth pair of pleopods. Mesophryxus is most closely related to the genus Anomophryxus Shiino, from which it differs in the arrangement of appendages on the abdomen.
