Treatment

parasita Saussure, 1857: 306 [ Cymothoa View in CoL ].

Cuba. Unspecified series.

Saussure (1858: 485) later gave the locality information “Pris sur les côtes de Cuba, attaché au ventre d’un poisson”. The MHNG collection includes one pinned specimen under the name Cymothoa parasita with the handwritten label “Cymoth. parasitica Sauss. Cuba.” The type series was unspecified and so this specimen should be regarded as a syntype. Crustacea box 14.
