| Abstract: | Nitokra humphreysi sp. nov. (Harpacticoida: Ameiridae) is described from anchialine ground waters of the Cape Range karst area in northwestern Australia. The new species belongs to those species of the genus Nitokra Boeck, 1865 with a reduced number of spines/setae on the basoendopodite of the female fifth leg. It is remarkably similar to N. reunionensis Bozic, 1969 and to N. laingensis Fiers, 1986, but there are clear distinguishing features. Nitokra humphreysi sp. nov. has clear stygomorphic features, being colourless and lacking the nauplius eye. |
