26The fossil record of crustaceans as hosts of parasites has yielded three confirmed associations: epicaridean 27 isopod-induced swellings on Jurassic-Recent decapod crustaceans, feminization of Cretaceous and 28Miocene male crabs possibly caused by rhizocephalan barnacles, and presumed pentastomids on/in 29 Silurian ostracods. Cestode platyhelminth hooks and swellings by entoniscid isopods may be recognized 30in the future. Relative to 2014, we report an increase of 41% to 124 fossil decapod species with 31 epicaridean-induced swellings in the branchial chamber (ichnotaxon Kanthyloma crusta). Furthermore, 32using a Late Jurassic (Tithonian) decapod assemblage from Austria, we find (1) no correlation between 33 genus abundance and prevalence of K. crusta, (2) host preference for some galatheoid taxa (as for a mid-34Cretaceous assemblage from Spain), and (3) a larger median size of parasitized versus non-parasitized 35 specimens for two selected species. The latter result may be caused by infestation throughout ontogeny 36 rather than exclusively in juveniles and/or possible selection for the larger sex. 37 38
