“…For example, 53 Caligus species were present in Chinese Taiwan, and many more species remained to be discovered from this region [5]. Similarly, thirteen species of Copepoda, including three members of Calanoida (Diaptomidae) and ten members of Cyclopoida (Eucyclopinae and Cyclopinae), were recorded in Chiapas, Mexico [42]. Indeed, high species diversity, even in a relatively small area, has often been observed in copepods [41,43,44].…”

Background: Copepods are key components of aquatic ecosystems and can help regulate the global carbon cycle. Much attention has been paid to the species diversity of copepods worldwide, but the phylogeography and genetic diversity of copepods in Nigeria is unexplored. Results: Using a mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I marker, we preformed phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses for Cyclopidae copepods in Southeast Nigeria. A high species diversity of Cyclopidae in Nigeria: 5 species of Tropocyclops, 5 species of Mesocyclops and 2 species of Thermocyclops from Cyclopidae were identified in 15 populations. Moreover, we detected 18 unique haplotypes, which fell into two distinct clades. Pairwise genetic distances (uncorrected p-distances) among the species of Cyclopidae ranged from 0.05 to 0.257. Several species co-existed in the same lake, and some haplotypes were shared among different geographic populations, suggesting a dispersal of Cyclopidae in our sampling region. Finally, we found that the population genetic diversity for each species of Cyclopidae was low in Nigeria. Conclusions: Our findings explored the species diversity and distribution of copepods within the family Cyclopidae for 15 Nigerian freshwater ecosystems: a high species diversity of Cyclopidae copepods was detected over a small geographic sampling range. Results from this study contribute to a better understanding of copepod diversity of Nigerian freshwater ecosystems.

“…Mastigodiaptomus is considered a Neotropical genus and the species with the widest distribution are Mastigodiaptomus albuquerquensis (South of USA and North of Mexico), Mastigodiaptomus patzcuarensis , Mastigodiaptomus montezumae (Central Mexico), Mastigodiaptomus nesus (Caribbean and south eastern Mexico), and Mastigodiaptomus texensis (Texas and south eastern Mexico), whereas the species that are assumed to have restricted distribution or endemics are Mastigodiaptomus reidae , Mastigodiaptomus maya , Mastigodiaptomus purpureus , Mastigodiaptomus amatitlanensis , Mastigodiaptomus suarezmoralesi (see Gutiérrez-Aguirre and Cervantes-Martínez 2013) and, probably, Mastigodiaptomus cuneatus sp. n.…”

“…Recent studies of this genus in the Neotropical region have added new species of these diaptomids (Gutiérrez-Aguirre and Cervantes-Martínez 2013) or the morphological and genetic analysis have produced recognition of species such as Mastigodiaptomus patzcuarensis (Kiefer, 1938) (Gutiérrez-Aguirre et al 2014). Currently ten species of Mastigodiaptomus are known: Mastigodiaptomus purpureus (Marsh, 1907), Mastigodiaptomus texensis (M. S. Wilson, 1953), Mastigodiaptomus amatitlanensis (M. S. Wilson, 1941), Mastigodiaptomus albuquerquensis (Herrick, 1895), Mastigodiaptomus patzcuarensis (Kiefer, 1938), Mastigodiaptomus montezumae (Brehm, 1955), Mastigodiaptomus nesus Bowman, 1986, Mastigodiaptomus maya Suárez-Morales & Elías-Gutiérrez, 2000, Mastigodiaptomus reidae Suárez-Morales & Elías-Gutiérrez, 2000, and Mastigodiaptomus suarezmoralesi Gutiérrez-Aguirre & Cervantes-Martínez, 2013.…”

A new species of the genus Mastigodiaptomus Light, 1939, named Mastigodiaptomus cuneatus sp. n. was found in a freshwater system in the City of Mazatlán, in the northern region of Mexico. Morphologically, the females of this new species are distinguishable from those of its congeners by the following combination of features: the right distal corner of the genital double-somite and second urosomite have a wedge-shaped projection, the fourth urosomite has no dorsal projection and its integument is smooth. The males are distinct by the following features: the right caudal ramus has a wedge-shaped structure at the disto-ventral inner corner; the basis of the right fifth leg has one triangular and one rounded projection at the distal and proximal margins, respectively, plus one hyaline membrane on the caudal surface close to the inner margin; the aculeus length is almost the width of the right second exopod (Exp2); and the frontal and caudal surfaces of the right Exp2 are smooth. Furthermore, the analysis of the COI gene of M. cuneatus sp. n. has revealed that M. albuquerquensis (Herrick, 1895) is its nearest congener, with 18.64% of genetic distance. A key for the identification of the known species of the genus is provided.

“…n. from northern central Mexico represents the first new species of the genus Metacyclops described in this country and is also the third record for North America (Reid 1991, Reid and Williamson 2010). There is a previous record of Metacyclops cushae by Gutiérrez-Aguirre and Cervantes-Martínez (2013) from southeast Mexico (Chiapas State). Most of the known American species of Metacyclops occur in tropical environments of the Neotropical region, mainly in South America and only Metacyclops cushae and Metacyclops gracilis have been reported from the Neartic region (Dussart and Defaye 2006).…”

A new species of the freshwater cyclopoid copepod genus Metacyclops Kiefer, 1927 is described from a single pond in northern Mexico, within the binational area known as the Chihuahuan Desert. This species belongs to a group of Metacyclops species with a 3443 spine formula of swimming legs. It is morphologically similar to Metacyclops lusitanus Lindberg, 1961 but differs from this and other congeners by having a unique combination of characters, including a caudal rami length/width proportion of 3.5–3.8, a innermost terminal seta slightly longer than the outermost terminal seta, intercoxal sclerites of legs 1-4 naked, a strong apical spine of the second endopodal segment of leg 1 and one row of 6-8 small spinules at the insertion of this spine. The finding of this species represents also the first record of the genus in Mexico and the third in North America, where only two other species, Metacyclops gracilis (Lilljeborg, 1853)and Metacyclops cushae Reid, 1991 have been hitherto reported. This is also the first continental record of a species of Metacyclops from an arid environment in the Americas. This species appears to be endemic to the Chihuahuan Desert, thus emphasizing the high endemicity of this area.
