Some parasitic Copepoda from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) with a synopsis of parasitic Crustacea from Ceylonese freshwater fishes

This report comprises a summary of parasitic copepods from fishes in Ceylon, as isolated from the branchial material of fishes belonging to previous collections. Seven copepod species are described in detail, as well as one species of Branchiura and one species of Isopoda. Caution is advocated to avoid further introductions via parasite-infested fishes, since only four of the above species are endemic.
