Marine epizoic diatom, Pseudohimantidium pacificum Hustedt and Krasske 1941, on copepod Corycaeus affinis is reported for the first time in North Eastern Arabian Sea. It was found attached exclusively to copepod C. affinis. Light Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscopic studies were made to examine the frustule morphology.
