Ostracoda (Crustacea) that are parasitic or living in close association with different animals have been known for many years, but here we report an occurrence that appears to be the first from a polychaete worm. Some specimens of the cryptogenic polychaete Chaetopterus sp., collected off Omaha Beach, Leigh, carried one or two ostracods attached in the head region at the boundary between the ninth and tenth chaetigerous segment. Pontocypria omaha sp. nov. is described and is the first record of a species of Pontocypria from New Zealand.
