Abstract

Two new species of Clausidium copepods were collected on the bodies of ghost shrimps from the Iranian coast of the Gulf of Oman. Clausidium makranensis sp. nov. and Clausidium sarii sp. nov. are described from the large chelipeds of Neocallichirus natalensis and Corallianassa martensi, respectively. Clausidium makranensis sp. nov. is distinguishable from its congeners by the unique anal somite that is armed with sclerotized hooks on each side. Clausidium sarii sp. nov. can be differentiated from its congeners by the armature and shape of leg 5.
