Abstract
The adult female of Cocculinika myzorama, new genus, new species, is described and illustrated. This copepod, from the cocculinid limpet Coccopigya hispida Marshall, in press, is characterised by the total absence of appendages, a ramifying endosoma in the host tissue, and a swollen ectosoma. The paired egg sacs are wrapped around the ectosoma.
Due to the absence of appendages, the phylogenetic relationships of the copepod are unknown. A list of all Copepoda associated with New Zealand molluscs is given.
