Some diatoms are able to colonize as epibionts on their potential zooplankton predators. Here, we reportPseudohimantidium pacificumliving on the copepodCorycaeus giesbrechtiand as a new finding onOithona nana,Protoraphis atlanticaliving on the copepodPontellopsis brevis,Protoraphis hustedtianaon the cypris larvae of barnacles, andFalcula hyalinaon the copepodAcartia lilljeborgii. The epizoic diatoms were able to grow as free‐living forms under culture conditions.Pseudohimantidium pacificumandP. atlanticaappeared as the most derived species from their benthic diatom ancestors. The mucilage pad or stalk of the strains of these species showed important morphological distinction when compared with their epizoic forms. Barnacle larvae explore benthic habitats before settlement, and epibiosis on them is an example whereP. hustedtianaprofits from the host behavior for dispersal of its benthic populations. Molecular phylogenies based on the SSU rRNA and RuBisCO large subunit (rbcL) gene sequences revealedF. hyalinaas an independent lineage within the Fragilariales (Tabularia,Catacombas,and others), consistent with its morphological distinction in the low number of rows (≤6) in the ocellulimbus, among other features. We propose the transfer ofF. hyalinato the genusPseudofalculagen. nov. Molecular phylogeny suggests a single order for the members of the Cyclophorales and the Protoraphidales, and that the epibioses of araphid diatoms on marine zooplankton have been independently acquired several times. These clades are constituted of both epizoic and epiphytic/epilithic forms that evidence a recent acquisition of the epizoic modus vivendi.
