Family LEPADIDAE Genus LEPAS Mn. Capitulum with 5 well developed plates separated by narrow interspaces. Apical part of carina between the terga. Subgenus Anatifa (Bruguiere): Carina basally ending in a fork at the sides of umbo embedded in the membrane just below the basal margin of the scuta. Subgenus (Gray): Carina with a great, almost rectangularly inflected disc below umbo, not embedded in the membrane below capitulum.

Genus Olfera: 5 to 2 small, vestigial plates on the mostly naked capitulum, filaments beneath the first pair of cirri, and on the peduncles of the 4 or 5 others. 6. Conchoderma alrritum (Lin.). Capitulum with two large tubular “ears” rising behind the place of the terga. Scuta bilobed, terga and carina rudimentary, in adults generally lacking. 7 long filaments on each side, none at the basis of cirrus VI. Colours varying. Capitdum length (without “ears”) about 3cm. In northern waters mostly on Corondu on great whales, in temperate and warmer seas also under ships and buoys. 7. Conchodenna uirgatum (Spengler). Capitulum with all 5 plates, always remote and embedded in the membrane. Scutum trilobed, terga and carina narrow, linear, in adults smaller than scuta. 5-6 short filaments, none at the basis of cirrus II. Grayish with a tinge of blue and with some few longitudinal black bands. Capitulum length up to 3.5 cm. Rare in Northern Waters; on ships’ bottoms, floating sea- weeds, turtles, fiea
