Abstract
Two species of bopyrid parasite, Progebiophilus euxinicus and Gyge bra nchialis, are reported from Upogebia deltaura from the Irish Sea and C lyde Sea area and from Upogebia stellata from the Clyde Sea area. In a ddition, G. branchialis was found on Upogebia pusilla from the Arcacho n Basin, France. These records add to the distributional data on these species.
