摘要

本篇報告描述寄生於臺灣產癭葉表孔珊瑚上發現的二種屬於杯口水蚤目之寄生橈足類，分別為Kim and Yamashiro (2007)描述的Allopodion ryukyuensis與Humes and Ho (1968)描述的Haplomolgus montiporae。它們藉由其附屬肢的干擾，誘導珊瑚宿主產生生理抵抗反應，並造成珊瑚骨骼異常增生進而堆積形成蟲癭構造。這二種寄生橈足類均為首次在癭葉表孔珊瑚及臺灣發現的新紀錄種。

Two species of the poecilostomatoid copepods, Allopodion ryukyuensis Kim and Yamashiro, 2007 and Haplomolgus montiporae Humes and Ho, 1968, are recorded from a scleractinian corals Montipora aequituberculata. These two species of copepods can elicit defense reactions of their host corals to deposit calcareous barrier by their appendages and are considered as gall-inducing copepods. Both of them are first recorded from M. aequituberculata and Taiwan.
