Abstract: A short note on the first record of the copepod Doridicola agilis found on the nudibranch Aeolidiella sanguinea from Murles Point and St John's Point, Co. Donegal. The copepods had the same bright orange-red colouration as the host and their numbers varied from 1-8 per host. Some taxonomic features are discussed.
