Abstract
Abstract Two new misophrioid cope pods are described from plankton taken from inland marine caves on Bermuda. A new genus and species, Speleophria bivexilla, is established on the basis of adult females from Roadside Cave and is distinguished from other misophrioids by the possession of a fused genital complex and a 2-segmented first leg endopod. The other new species, from Jane's Cave, is based on a single copepodid III stage and differs from other misophrioids in the segmentation of its mouthparts. It is not named because it cannot be placed in a genus until the adults are discovered.
