<p><strong>ENGLISH ABSTRACT:</strong> Three species of piscine parasitic copepods previously undescribed from southern African coastal waters were studied. Although sampling data are incomplete, <em>Lepeopthirius nordmanni </em>(Edwards, 1840) taken from <em>Thunnus</em> and<em> Mola</em> spp., <em>Euryphorus brachypterus </em>(Gerstaecker, 1853) from unknown host and locality and <em>Nesippus onentalis </em>Heller, 1868 from <em>Thunnus thynnus, </em>the bluefin tuna, are described and figured. Several morphological variations from other descriptions are noted for all three species.</p> <p>**************</p> <p><strong>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:</strong> Drie spesies vis-parasitiese verteenwoordigers van die Copepoda word vir die eerste keer vanuit die SuiderAfrikaanse kuswaters beskryf. Alhoewel versamelingsdata onvolledig is, word <em>Lepeopthirius nordmanni</em> (Edwards, 1840) vanaf <em>Thunnus </em>en <em>Mola </em>spp., <em>Euryphorus brachypterus </em>(Gerstaecker, 1853) vanaf 'n onbekende omgewing en gasheer en <em>Nesippus orientalis </em>Heller, 1868 vanaf <em>Thunnus thynnus, </em>die blouvintuna, beskryf. Verskeie moriologiese variasies van ander beskrywings word in al drie spesies aangetoon.</p>
