Abstract
|
|
|
|
Neustonic calanoid copepods were collected at the South Sea of Korea using a David?Hempel neuston net. Four Pontellopsis species (P. armata Giesbrecht, P. regalis Dana, P. villosa 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 Pontellopsis. Also we discuss zoogeography of Pontellopsis species and provide with a key to the species hitherto known in the Korean waters.
