Botryllophilus kozloffi Ooishi, 2014
Material examined. 1 ♀ (MNHN-IU-2018-1963) in Clavel ẚna lepadẚfçrmẚs (Müller, 1776), Île Grande , Atlantic coast of France ; 1 ♀ (MNHN-IU-2014-17370, dissected) in Cystçdytes senegalense Monniot F., 1969, Dakar, Senegal ; 3 ♀♀ (MNHN-IU-2018-1964, 1 ♀ dissected) in Cystçdytes rçseçlus Hartmeyer, 1912 (MNHN-IT-2008-2602 = MNHN A3 About MNHN / CYS/4 ), Dakar, Senegal Stn. 17, IFAN coll., 21 January 1941 .
Remarks. Ooishi (2014c) described this species based on specimens associated with Clavelẚna lepadẚfçrmẚs collected from the Atlantic coast of France. Cystçdytes senegalense and C. rçseçlus reported above are new host records. Almost all morphological features of our new material agree well with the original description, except for the absence of a pair of setulose lobes on the anteromedial margin of the first endopodal segment of right and left leg 1, which were described and figured in the original description.
This species is very similar to B. neapçlẚtanus Ooishi, 2006. Both have the same setation pattern on the antenna and the swimming legs. Ooishi (2014c) listed several differences between the two species, the most easily observed of which appears to be leg 5, which is short and stout in B. kçzlçffẚ but longer and tapering in B. neapçlẚtanus.
