Abstract
ABSTRACT A new species of Prodajus Bonnier (female, male, and juvenile) is described as a parasite in the marsupium of the mysid Mysidopsis bigelowi Tattersall from Hereford Inlet, Cape May County, New Jersey. It is compared briefly with the other four species in the genus. The species was taken from materials collected during many trips in the inlet and adjacent ocean made from March 1974 to June 1978. Two other species of mysids were collected, but only M. bigelowi contained the parasitic isopod. Aspects of the relationship of the host and parasite are recorded.
