Five species of parasitic copepods are described based on the material collected during cruise 16 of R/V Anton Bruun . They are: from the gill chambers of macrourids, Chondracanthodes deflexus Wilson, Lateracanthus quadripedis Kabata and Gusev and Brachiella annulata Markevitch; from the anal fin of a macrourid, Nudiclavella galapagoense gen.nov., sp.nov.; and from the gill filaments of brotulids, Naobranchia maxima sp.nov. All fishes were caught with FVSL (free vehicle set lines) in the deep sea off the Galápagos Islands, ranging from 1710 to 3330 m.
