The morphology of the developmental stages of Neobrachiella robusta (Wilson, 1912) (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida) is described. The copepod is parasitic on the gill rakers of Sebastes alutus (Gilbert, 1890) (Teleostei: Scorpaeniformes). The life cycle of this copepod consists of a copepodid stage, followed by four chalimus stages and a relatively long preadult stage, which undergoes extensive metamorphosis. The copepods aggregate on the outer row of long gill rakers of the first gill arch, as many as 97% of them being attached to these rakers. Some of the rakers become distorted, but a connection between the presence of N. robusta and these abnormalities could not be established.

Parasitic Copepoda

This species has received so few notices from collectors of parasitic Copepoda that it might be judged uncommon. Thus Krøyer (1837), originally placed it in the genus Lernaeopoda having but a single specimen at his disposal the host of which he had forgotten; subsequently it has been recorded by Olsson (1869), who was the first to place it correctly in the genus Brachiella. This species has also been recorded by P. J. van Beneden (1870), by T. Scott (1901), by A. Scott (1904), and collected by L. Harrison Matthews, as mentioned by me (1926), at Plymouth.
