Abstract

Eleven species of free-living Copepoda are dealt with in this paper. One of them (Eucyclops lilljeborgi (Sars)) is recorded for the first time in North America. Three species (E. prionophorus Kiefer, Megacyclops latipes Lowndes, and Acanthocyclops carolinianus Yeatman) have not been recorded in Canada before, while three species (A. venustoides Coker, A. venustoides bispinosus Yeatman, and Paracyclops affinis (Sars)) have not hitherto been recorded in Ontario. Four species considered rare, namely Diaptomus wilsonae Reed, Diacyclops navus Herrick, Macrocyclops ater Herrick, and Mesocyclops leuckarti Claus, but found to be widely distributed are briefly referred to. Notes are given of the diagnostic features and distribution of each species.
