What is On the continental Copepod fauna of Morocco about?
A series of samples, collected in different parts of Morocco, contained 26 species and one subspecies of Copepoda . Ten among these are new to the fauna of Morocco and one is new to Science . Two species (Eucyclops hadjebensis Kiefer and Mixodiaptomus laciniatus atlantis Kiefer) are endemic to Morocco ; Afrocyclops gibsoni Brady and Thermocyclops schuurmanae Kiefer are Ethiopan species . The former reaches its limit of Northern extent East of the Atlas mountains ; the latter is a pluvial relict . The remaining species have either a cosmopolitan, circummediterranean or North-African distribution, with the exception of Cyclops abyssorum mauretaniae which is a southern element of the Eurasiatic genus Cyclops . Its taxonomical status is reviewed in some detail. Thermocyclops infrequens Kiefer is synonymized with T. schuurmanae Kiefer . It is concluded that the largest gaps in our knowledge of the Copepoda of Morocco are now in the group of the Harpacticoida . Sommaire Dans les echantillons etudies, 26 espbces et une sous-espece de Copepodes ont ete trouves . Dix sont nouvelles pour le Maroc et une nouvelle pour la science . Parmi les espbces reputees endemiques du Maroc, Mixodiaptomus
