First record of “Bryocamptus (Bryocamptus) mrazeki” (Minkiewicz, 1916) in the Romanian harpacticoid fauna (Copepoda, Harpacticoida)
Keywords:
harpacticoid copepods, new record, Romanian fauna, spring habitat, the Retezat Mountains.Abstract
The harpacticoid copepod species Bryocamptus (Bryocamptus) mrazeki (Minkiewicz, 1916) is reported for the first time for the Romanian fauna. The species was identified in a small eucrenal spring from the Retezat Mountains, next to other taxa characteristic to the benthic habitats of clean waters. The present paper represents a necessary addition to the species distribution in Europe, since B.(B.) mrazeki was mostly found in mountain habitats from the Carpathian Ecoregion.
