Abstract

Some thalestrid harpacticoid copepods were found in samples collected with a light trap from Jeju Island, Korea. Taxonomic analysis of the specimens revealed that they belong to a new species of the genus Parathalestris Brady & Robertson, 1873. The new species, P. jejuensis sp. nov. is characterized by the short caudal ramus without bulbous seta at the base in both sexes, the shape of the male antennule with a strong and densely plumose seta on the first segment and numerous setae on the third segment, the minute seta on the innermost margin of the transformed P2 endopod in the male, and the setal formula of the male P5.
