Niel L. Bruce and Elizabeth B. Harrison-Nelson

Abstract.—New records of Indo-Pacific Anilocrinae are reported on, prin­ cipally from the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, British Museum (Natural History), and the Zoologisch Museum, Amsterdam.Twenty-nine species from the genera Anilocra, Creniola, , Pleopodias and Renocila are recorded or reported on, with remarks given for all species, and figures for those species that are poorly known. The hosts of three isopod species are recorded for the first time, and new host records are given for a further six species. New figures are given for Anilocra marginata (Bleeker), Anilocra rhodotaenia Bleeker is relegated to species inquirenda. The following new synonyms are recorded: Nerocila arres Bowman & Tareen with A^. sigani Bowman & Tareen; Anilocra acuminata Haller with A. capensis Leach; and Pleopodias superatus Williams & Williams with P. diaphus Avdeev.
