A new parasitic copepod crustacean of uncertain affinities: Megallecto thirioti n. gen., n. sp

A new genus and species of parasitic copepod, Megallecto thirioti, has been found in a horizontal plankton haul at 100 m depth in the eastern north Atlantic. Its host is very probably a pteropod mollusc belonging to the thecosome group. This copepod would appear to be related to Micrallecto uncinata...
