Bopyroides Stimpson, 1864 DIAGNOSIS: Female: Body subovate, moderately distorted. Head separate from pereon. Distinct frontal lamina, palp, coxal plates, dorsolateral bosses. Posterolateral point of first oostigite not directed backward. Pleopods uniramous or absent, uropods lacking. Male: Body elongate, without midventral tubercles. Pleon completely fused, without pleopods or uropods. TYPE SPECIES: Bopyroides acutimarginatus Stimpson, 1864 (= Bopyrus hippolytes Kröyer, 1838), by original designation. OTHER SPECIES: Bopyroides cluthae (Scott, 1902), B. shiinoi Rybakov and Avdeev, 1991. REMARKS: Stimpson (1864) erected this genus for Bopyroides acutimarginatus from Puget Sound. Bourdon (1968) reviewed the genus and considered B. acutimarginatus as a synonym of Bopyrus hippolytes, and also synonymized B. furcata Norman, 1905, and Pleurocrypta patiencei Scott, 1902, with B. cluthae. Markham (1985a) regarded B. sarsi Bonnier, 1900, as identical with B. hippolytes. Rybakov and Avdeev (1991) described B. shiinoi from the northwestern Pacific.
