A new record of cletocamptus confluens(schmeil 1894) (copepoda harpacticoida) from a small pond in north-west namibia

Abstract

Specimens of Cletocamptus Schmankewitsch 1875, collected in a small pond in north-west Namibia, were identified and redescribed as C. confluens (Schmeil 1894). The morphology of both sexes is illustrated in detail and compared to the existing descriptions. The new record expands considerably the known distribution of C. confluens. A map showing the locations of this widespread species is presented. © 1999 by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.
