Two new copepod species (Crustacea: Copepoda) from the Ohrid Lake

Abstract

Two new copepod species are described from Lake Ohrid (Balkan peninsula), Diacyclops ichnusoides n.sp. (Cyclopoida, Cyclopidae) collected from interstitial waters on the lake coast, and it belongs to the 'languidoides'-group. Bryocamptus (R.) mirus n.sp. (Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae) lives in deep water and belongs to the 'zschokkei'-group. With this investigation, the copepod list in Lake Ohrid increases to 36 species, of which 6 are endemic.
