Eucyclops leschermoutouae sp. n. from Majorca, Balearic Islands (Crustacea, Copepoda: Cyclopidae)

V.R. Alekseev & D. Defaye

Abstract. Eucyclops leschermoutouae sp. n. is described from a well located in the vicinity of Soller (Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain). This new species belongs to the serrulatus-group and can be distinguished from its nearest congeners by a set of characters, which includes the fine armature of the antennar basipode and coxa of the swimming leg 4, and the relative lengths of the caudal setae. Taxonomic differences of the new taxon and closely related species from Africa, Asia and Americas are discussed.
