Extract

Six species of South African parasitic copepods belonging to the family Chondracanthidae were restudied. A redescription was given of Acanthochondria lepidionis, Ghondracanthus colligens and Ch. neali. Ch. lophii reported by Barnard (1955a) is actually a new species; it was named Ch. barnardi and redescribed. Ch. congiopodi Barnard, 1955, is conspecific with Ch. tuberculatus Nordmann, 1832. A redescription of this species was given based on Barnard's collection. Ch. merluccii was only mentioned and not redescribed.
