Sixty species from the following genera are described, their distinguishing characteristics are illustrated, and representative photographs are presented: Acartia, Acrocalanus, Calanoides, Candacia, Canthocalanus, Clausocalanus, Cosmocalanus, Eucalanus, Euchaeta, Euchirella, Haloptilus, Lucicutia, Mesocalanus, Metridia, Nannocalanus, Neocalanus, Paracalanus, Pareucalanus, Parvocalanus, Pleuromamma, Rhincalanus, Subeucalanus, Undinula. Keys to species of the genera, and patterns of horizontal and vertical distribution of each species in the Arabian Sea are also given.

These anomalies are presumed to be parasitic protists (perhaps dinoflagellates of the family Ellobipsidae) or the hernias induced by injuries. Percentage of specimens with TLA varied, depending on the species, from 0.2 to 20.9 %.
