Abstract
This contribution is intended to be the last of this series. As one who may claim to have revived interest in these crustaceans from this region since the days of Bassett-Smith just prior to the beginning of the century, I find it particularly gratifying that several Indian zoologists are now steadily engaged in adding to our knowledge of these forms. Altogether some forty-three genera containing about 120 species have now been recorded from the Indian Ocean. This must form only a small fraction of the total number of forms that actually occur on the wide variety of hosts inhabiting this region.Keywords
