A molecular phylogeny of Bopyroidea and Cryptoniscoidea (Crustacea: Isopoda)

Abstract: Epicaridean isopods are parasitic on other crustaceans. They represent a diverse group of highly derived taxa in two superfamilies and 10 families. Little work has been done on the phylogeny of these parasites because of the difficulty in defining homologous characters for adults above the genus level. The females exhibit morphological reduction of characters and the males have few distinguishing characters. Moreover, epicarideans have only rarely been included in past studies of isopod phylogeny.

“…Dreyer and W€ agele, 2001;Boyko et al, 2013). Dreyer and W€ agele (2001, Figure 12) speculated that cirolanid-like cymothoids feeding on fish evolved to become parasitic on/in fish (Cymothoidae), and also gave rise to the Bopyridae infesting crustacean hosts, resulting in the radiation of bopyrids.…”

“…As a consequence, the monophyly of this subfamily has been questioned by earlier authors (e.g., Adkison et al, 1982;Bourdon and Bruce, 1983). Adkison et al (1982) considered Parargeia Hansen, 1897, to be closer to Pseudioninae and the other genera nearer to Bopyrinae, but the molecular phylogeny of Boyko et al (2013) Stebbing, 1893: 336, 337;Calman, 1898: 281;Richardson, 1899a: 868;Richardson, 1899b: 336-337;Bonnier, 1900: 48, 61, 171, 221, 327-328, fig. 55;Richardson, 1900: 308;Gerstaecker, 1901: 185;Richardson, 1904a: 45, 60-64, figs.…”

“…sp., is seen with Metaphrixus intutus Bruce, 1966, which is positioned over the host branchial chamber and is attached underneath a raised flange derived from the first abdominal pleuron of the host. The branchial mode of parasitism is considered to be the ancestral condition for bopyrids (see Boyko et al, 2013) and Sigyn branchialis, n. gen., n. sp., with its branchial position and full complement of pereopods on both sides of the female body may represent the most primitive hemiarthrine known to date.…”

“…Most parasitic isopods that are ectoparasites occur within five major groups: Cymothoidae, Aegidae, Bopyroidea, Cryptoniscoidea and Gnathiidae (Williams & Boyko 2012, Boyko et al 2013, which are all ingroups of Cymothoida. Representatives of Cymothoidae and Gnathiidae prefer fishes as hosts, while species of Bopyridea and Cryptoniscoidea are generally found on decapod crustaceans.…”
