Abstract
Since 1905, when Wilson prepared a key for the over seventy-five known species of Caligus, more than forty-three species have been described. Yet of this number, those parasitic on Indian fishes appear limited to the few described by Bassett-Smith (1898a, b, c). There has been no intensive study of these forms, before or after this author. In the present paper, three new species of Caligus, parasitic on the ribbon fish Trichiurus haumela Forsker, one of the commonest fish in the markets of Madras, South India, are described.
