Two Groundwater Copepods of the Genus Parastenocaris (Harpacticoida, Parastenocarididae) from South Korea

  • Published : 2009.06.30

Abstract

Two subterranean harpacticoid species are recorded from cavern and interstitial waters in South Korea: Parastenocaris ondali n. sp. and P brevipes Kessler, 1913. Parastenocaris ondali n. sp. resembles P nipponensis Chappuis, 1955 from Japan, but differs from it by shorter caudal rami, armature of leg 5, and short endopodal processes of leg 4 in both sexes. Herein, the new species is described, and systematic accounts of both species are provided with detailed illustrations.
