Abstract

The article deals with the report of suctorian ciliate Lecanophryella indica from new locality (Mumbai, west coast of India, Arabian Sea) and new host – harpacticoid copepod. The redescription of the species is presented. The possible prevalence of L. indica to localization on host cephalothorax is also discussed.
