Abstract
Complete descriptions of the epicarid, microniscid, cryptoniscid, and juvenile stages of Holophryxus alaskensis are given. The epicarid differs from other epicarids by its chelate pereopods. The intermediate host is Euchaeta elongate (Copepoda). The cryptoniscid stage differs from others of the Dajidae in lacking a buccal sucker and posterior projection on article 1 of antenna 1. The cryptoniscid attaches to the body wall beneath the carapace of Pasiphaea pacifica (Decapoda), where it metamorphoses to the juvenile stage before migrating to the dorsal side of the carapace.Key words: Isopoda, Epicarida, Dajidae, cryptoniscid, epicarid, microniscid, parasite, Decapoda
