Abstract
Thirteen species of parasitic bopyrid isopods occur on New Zealand decapod crustaceans. Six species: Pseudione pontocari; P. murawaiensis; Gyge angularis; Gigantione pikei; Rhopalione atrinicolae; and Pseudostegias otagoensis are new to science. Five species: Pseudione affinis (Sars); P. hyndmanni (Bate & Westwood); Pleurocryptella infecta Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis; Hemiarthrus nematocarcini Stebbing; and Eophrixus shojii Shiino are recorded for the first time in New Zealand. The 2 remaining species, Pseudione hayi Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis and Athelges lacertosi Pike are previously described endemics. These 13 species belong to 4 of the 10 currently recognised subfamilies of the Bopyridae. The new species are described, and all species are figured.
