Description 271-276
In
this study, 16S rRNA and COI genes of four Indian isopod species and nine other
species (retrieved from NCBI) of the three parasitic habits were examined to
present a different hypothesis on the evolutionary history of the family.
Present study infers that

there
is no relationship among the habitat-specific species. Phylogenetic tree
support the monophyly of the family and the specialized mouth parts bearing
species (endoparasites) are not necessarily derived from the scale attaching
ones (ectoparasites). The use of more molecular markers can greatly improve the
taxonomic revisions of the Cymothoidae and the present work could be a valuable
first step towards this task.
