Extract
Linnaeus (1747) described and figured (reproduced in Fig. 1) a parasitic Copepod from the gills of a Gadus, which he designated Lernaea cauda duplici tereti, and defined in these words: Thorax seu corpus molle, album, subrotundum, convexum, carnosum; antice obtusum, seu potius retusum, latere utroque notatum, denticulo molle antrorsum spectante. Collum tenue longiusculum, caput trilobum dilatatum; lobo intermedio obverse eordato. Cauda pone thoracem ex duobus corpusoulis pallidis longitudine thoracis. Brachia sub thorace, ad latera colli utrinque duo, quorum pars exterius bilobum, interius ovatum.
