Copidognathus matthewsi Newell, 1956

Records associated with decapod crustaceans – This species was found on the gills lobster Parribacus antarcticus ( Decapoda , Scyllaridae ) from Hawaiian Islands ( Newell 1956).

Remarks – This species lives as a parasite on the gills of Parribacus antarcticus . Newell (1956) also commented that the filaments of gills infested by mite sometimes show necrotic spots apparently due to the feeding activities of the mite.
