Abstract
Host and record. Several males and females were collected from the skin of a sailfish, Histiophorus gladius Day, caught off the south coast of Ceylon in December, 1931. Since then this form was found to occur commonly as an external parasite on the skin of many of the sailfish and swordfish found in Ceylon waters.Keywords
