On variability of Acanthocyclops robustus Sars from waterbodies of southeastern Kazakhstan (Crustacea: Cyclopidae)

E.G. Krupa

Abstract. Variability of Acanthocyclops robustus Sars is studied with use of five indices applied in the Acanthocyclops taxonomy. Differences in 3-5 indices are found between populations characterized by presence of spine or seta on the outer side of endopod 3 of leg 4.
