Male: Body elongate, without midventral tubercles. Pleon completely fused, without pleopods or uropods.

TYPE SPECIES: Bopyroides acutimarginatus Stimpson, 1864 (= Bopyrus hippolytes Kröyer, 1838 ), by original designation.

OTHER SPECIES: Bopyroides cluthae ( Scott, 1902) , B. shiinoi Rybakov and Avdeev, 1991 .

REMARKS: Stimpson (1864) erected this genus for Bopyroides acutimarginatus from Puget Sound. Bourdon (1968) reviewed the genus and considered B. acutimarginatus as a synonym of Bopyrus hippolytes , and also synonymized B. furcata Norman, 1905 , and Pleurocrypta patiencei Scott, 1902 , with B. cluthae . Markham (1985a) regarded B. sarsi Bonnier, 1900 , as identical with B. hippolytes . Rybakov and Avdeev (1991) described B. shiinoi from the northwestern Pacific.
