The Bopyrid;i; live in the branchial chamber of shrimps. Crvptoiiisciis is a shapeless sac which attaches itself to the stalk oiSaa-uIina (\x 374), and, after causing the death of this parasite, uses its network of 'roots' t'or its own nourishment. The Entoniscidx (fig. 413) attack Decapoda and, pressing the skin before them, penetrate the inte- rior. Their strange shape is 'largely due to the lobe-like brood lamellT. Thev are usually hermaphroditic, but have besides compleniental dwarf males (fig.'4i3>-I)-.
