The portunid crab Lupocycloporus gracilimanus from Digha, Bay of Bengal, India was investigated for an infestation by the lepadomorph cirriped Octolasmis spp. About 93% of the epibionts examined were found attached to the surface of the carapace, abdomen and legs, and these were identified as Octolasmis warwicki (EOW). Only 7% of the epibionts were attached to the branchial lamellae, and these were identified as Octolasmis angulata (EOA). Twenty-seven O. warwicki were also found to have conspecific dwarf males (CDM) attached to the scutum: probably an adaptive strategy to maximize the total insemination. Both the epibionts and the CDM showed spatial preference for the posterior mesobranchial region of the carapace. Most of the CDM (27%) were seen as a single attachment on the epibiont. The distance between the epibiont and its nearest neighbour (DNN) was found to be strongly and negatively correlated (
Le crabe portunidé Lupocycloporus gracilimanus en provenance de Digha, Baie du Bengale, Inde, a été étudié pour une infestation par le cirripède lépadomorphe Octolasmis spp. Environ 93% des épibiontes examinés ont été trouvés attachés à la surface de la carapace, abdomen et pattes, et ont été identifiés comme étant Octolasmis warwicki (EOW). Seulement 7% des épibiontes étaient attachés aux lamelles branchiales, et ces individus ont été identifiés comme Octolasmis angulata (EOA). Vingt sept O. warwicki ont aussi été trouvés avec des mâles nains conspécifiques (CDM) attachés au scutum, probablement une stratégie adaptative pour maximiser une insémination complète. A la fois les épibiontes et les CDM ont montré une préférence spatiale pour la région postério-mésobranchiale de la carapace. La plupart des CDM a été observée comme une fixation unique (DNN) sur l’épibionte. La distance entre l’épibionte et son plus proche voisin a été fortement et négativement corrélée (r = −0,79,
