Entoniscidae
The Entoniscidae are a family of marine isopod crustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. Members of this family are parasites of brachyuran and anomuran crabs, living in their hosts' haemocoel. A small chitinised hole develops through the host's exoskeleton through which the isopod can communicate with the environment. The female isopod bears little resemblance to any free-living isopod, but the morphology of the larvae show their taxonomic Taxonomy is the practice and science of categorization or classification.

Cymothoida
Cymothoida is the name of a suborder of isopod crustaceans with a mostly carnivorous or parasitic lifestyle. It contains more than 2,700 described species in four superfamilies. Members of the suborder are characterised by their specialised mouthparts which include a mandible with a tooth-like process which is adapted for cutting or slicing. Classification Cymothoida contains these superfamilies and families: *Superfamily Anthuroidea Leach, 1814 **Antheluridae Poore & Lew Ton, 1988 **Anthuridae Leach, 1814 **Expanathuridae Poore, 2001 **Hyssuridae Wägele, 1981 **Leptanthuridae Poore, 2001 **Paranthuridae Menzies & Glynn, 1968 *Superfamily Cymothooidea Leach, 1814 ** Aegidae White, 1850 **Anuropidae Stebbing, 1893 ** Barybrotidae Hansen, 1890 ** Cirolanidae Dana, 1852 **Corallanidae Hansen, 1890 **Cymothoidae Leach, 1818 ** Gnathiidae Leach, 1814 **Protognathiidae Wägele & Brandt, 1988 **Tridentellidae Bruce, 1984 *Superfamily Cryptoniscoidea Kossmann, 1880 ** Asconiscidae Bon ...

Annals And Magazine Of Natural History
The ''Journal of Natural History'' is a scientific journal published by Taylor & Francis focusing on entomology and zoology. The journal was established in 1841 under the name ''Annals and Magazine of Natural History'' (''Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.'') and obtained its current title in 1967. The journal was formed by the merger of the ''Magazine of Natural History'' (1828–1840) and the ''Annals of Natural History'' (1838–1840; previously the ''Magazine of Zoology and Botany'', 1836–1838) and '' Loudon and Charlesworth's Magazine of Natural History''. In September 1855, the ''Annals and Magazine of Natural History'' published "On the Law which has Regulated the Introduction of New Species", a paper which Alfred Russel Wallace had written while working in the state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo in February of that year.
