These findings integrate the poor information on the symbiotic copepods in ascidian species, with the description of <i>Haplostomides magnus</i> n. sp. (Cyclopoida: Botryllophilidae) found as commensal in the colonial ascidian <i>Polyclinum aurantium</i>. The morphological diagnostic features of the new species include a caudal ramus bearing two spines and two setae, a unique armature condition within this genus. Brief descriptive notes are also provided for several species of copepods associated with ascidian species: <i>Lichomolgus canui</i> Sars G.O., 1917 (Cyclopoida: Lichomolgidae), found in <i>Styela plicata</i>, <i>Doropygus pulex</i> Thorell, 1859 (Cyclopoida: Notodelphyidae), found in <i>Ascidiella aspersa</i>, and <i>Pachypygus gibber</i> (Thorell, 1859) (Cyclopoida: Notodelphyidae) collected among the fouling community. A species belonging to the genus <i>Asterocheres</i> (Siphonostomatoida: Asterocheridae) was also found associated with <i>Styela plicata</i>.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Symbiotic copepods from the ascidians, a hidden diversity of the Mediterranean Sea: <i>Haplostomides magnus</i> n. sp.
