Pantel/apsis Species (Copepoda, Pontellidae) in the Korean Waters, with Notes on the Female Genital Structures and Their Zoogeography

  • Published : 2009.06.30

Abstract

Neustonic calanoid copepods were collected at the South Sea of Korea using a David-Hempel neuston net. Four Pantel/apsis species (P. armata Giesbrecht, P. rega/is Dana, P. vil/asa Brady and P. yamadae Mori) were identified and the former three species were first recorded in the Korea. We present redescription of the four species with SEM micrographs of female genitalia. Female genital structure is species-specific and can be very useful for species classification in the genus Pantel/apsis. Also we discuss zoogeography of Pantel/apsis species and provide with a key to the species hitherto known in the Korean waters.
