Abstract

Thermocyclops ouadanei n. sp. from Mauretania is described and figured. This new species is characterized by the structure of the receptaculum seminis, the uniting lamella of the P4 which bears no marginal denticles on the rounded prominences, the length of the apical spines on the endopodite 3 of the P4 and by the length of the furcal setae. Its relationship with other Thermocyclops species is discussed.
