Description:
The parasitic Copepod Lernaea bistricornis Harding was described by Harding (1950) from a single specimen found in Lake Tanganyika on the endemic Cichlid fish Cardio pharynx schoutedeni POLL. No further specimens were known until when several individuals were collected in the same lake by Dr. G. MARLIER from the endemic Cichlid fishes Cyathopharynx Furcifer (Boulenger) and Callochromis pleurospilus (Boulenger). These records indicate that L. bistricornis has fairly wide host preferences, at least within the fainily Cichlidae, and suggest that, like its relative L. lophaira Harding which parasitizes the Cichlid fishes of L. Nyasa, it is capable of parasitizing any member of this group within its range of distribution.
