Four new species and a new record of Cryptoniscoidea (Crustacea: Isopoda: Hemioniscidae and Crinoniscidae) parasitising stalked barnacles from New Zealand Hosie, Andrew M.

As suggested by Bocquet-Vedrinev & Bocquet (1972)  L. alepadisshould probably be placed within the Crinoniscidaeand Gruvel’s (1902) generic placement seems to have been made solely on the basis of the host species—  Paralepas minutaPhilippi, 1832—being a pedunculate barnacles as in the case in the other members of the genus  Leponiscus. Until further material can be studied  L. alepadisis regarded as species inquirendum. The diagnosis of this genus is presently the same as that for the family because the only known specimen of  Proteolepas bivinctais a juvenile female and currently indistinguishable from juvenile female’s of  Crinoniscus.
