A new species of Notodiaptomus Kiefer (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) from Brazil

Abstract

Description of a new species of Diaptomidae (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida) Notodiaptomus oliveirai is given from the material obtained at a reservoir at Barra Bonita, SP in 1992. The new species is very similar to Notodiaptomus henseni Dahl 1894 although both species can be found in the same locality, constituting two distinct populations. Notodiaptomus oliveirai seems to be endowed with great adaptability to changes in environmental conditions, extending its distribution to all the hydrographic basins in the state of São Paulo.

Identification guide to some Diaptomid species (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) of “de la Plata” River Basin (South America)

“…The degree of curvature alone does not provide adequate evidence upon which to base the establishment of a new species. The typical sclerotized processes on internal margins of left and right BspP5 of Notodiaptomus henseni are visible in the photograph of Notodiaptomus oliveirai included by Matsumura-Tundisi et al (2010) and their presence provides further evidence pointing to the synonymy of this nominal species. We formally propose the recognition of Notodiaptomus oliveirai as a junior subjective synonym of Notodiaptomus henseni .…”

“…Recently, Matsumura-Tundisi et al (2010) described a new species, Notodiaptomus oliveirai Matsumura-Tundisi, Espindola, Tundisi, Souza-Soares & Degani, 2010, which shows a close similarity to Notodiaptomus henseni , and stated that many records of Notodiaptomus henseni from the state of São Paulo (Brazil) would represent records of Notodiaptomus oliveirai . However, their description is supported by illustrations lacking many important details (e.g.…”
