Harpacticoida (Crustacea: Copepoda) of the Three Islands on Aegean Sea (Turkey) with Eight New Records

Öz

Harpacticoid fauna inhabiting in the mediolittoral zone of the islands of Bodrum (Turkey) called Kara, Çatal and Tavşan was investigated. For this purpose, a total of 23 stations were sampled. As a result, 22 species belonging to 11 families distributed within 20 genera were identified. These species are: Pseudobradya robusta, Pseudobradya pelobates, Leptocaris biscayensis, Harpacticus sp., Parastenhelia spinosa, Sarsamphiascus angustipes, Ameira tenuicornis, Psyllocamptus eridani,  Pseudameira breviseta, Leptomesochra infima, Pseudoleptomesochrella marina, Paramesochra helgalondica, Phyllopodopsyllus thiebaudi, Phyllopodopsyllus briani, Orthopsyllus sarsi, Laophonte cornuta, Paralaophonte brevirostris, Echinolaophonte armiger, Klieonychocamptus kliei, Klieonychocamptus kliei adriaticus, Afrolaophonte pori, Lipomelum adriaticum and Neoleptastacus acanthus. Also, Pseudobradya robusta, Pseudobradya pelobates, Pseudameira breviseta, Leptomesochra infima, Pseudoleptomesochrella marina, Echinolaophonte armiger are reported for the first time from Turkish coasts.
