Lamippe [Lamippe]

Description

Lamippe is a genus of copepods under the family Kroyeriidae, known for its parasitic relationship with marine elasmobranchs. Unlike the other genera in the family, Lamippe's members often exhibit slightly different body shapes and a unique set of appendages that are specifically adapted for clinging onto the host's body. Their mode of life involves feeding on the host's body fluids, and they display a range of morphological adaptations to facilitate this lifestyle.
