Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT Water samples taken from the Rodadero Bay, Caribbean Colombian coast, yielded an undescribed species of harpacticoid copepod of the family Tisbidae,Tisbintra monroyisp. nov. and a new record ofGeehydrosoma brevipodum. The genusTisbintrais composed of two species only,Tisbintra nankauricaknown from Nicobar Islands (Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea), andTisbintra jonesiknown from the Gulf of Mannar (southern India and western Sri Lanka) and the coast of Kenya. The new species can be separated fromT. nankauricaandT. jonseiby the number of segments of the female and male antennule, relative length of the setae on the P5EXP, and the number of setae/spines in the female P6. The record ofTisbintra monroyisp. nov. in Colombia is the first one of the genus outside the Indian Ocean. The new record ofGeehydrosoma brevipodum, known previously from the Mexican Tropical Eastern Pacific, constitutes a range extension of the species to the Caribbean Colombian coast. |
