Rybocyclops dussarti Ranga Reddy & Defaye 2008
No full textRybocyclops dussarti Ranga Reddy & Defaye, 2008 (Fig. 23) Synonymy. Rybocylops dussarti Ranga Reddy & Defaye, 2008: 40–50, Figs. 1–3. Material examined. Two female topotypes collected from the type locality. Remark. A close scrutiny of the topotypes of R. dussarti shows that the original figures and description of the antennule and antenna (Figs. 23 a, b), especially of the former, are incomplete in certain respects. Hence fresh drawings are provided herein for both these appendages. Importantly, the female antennule has the modified conical seta on segment 5, an aesthetasc on segment 8 as well as segment 11, and plumosity on certain setae, but these details are missing in the original account. Otherwise, the topotypes examined perfectly agree with the original account.Published as part of Totakura, Venkateswara Rao & Reddy, Yenumula Ranga, 2015, Groundwater cyclopoid copepods of peninsular India, with description of eight new species, pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 3945 (1) on page 41, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3945.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28823
Allocyclopina inopinata Defaye & Ranga Reddy 2008

River Godavari at Sundarapalli village, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh, South India, 26 May 2007: 15 males, 23 females; at Kotipalli village, 25 January 2008: 3 males, 12 females; at Kapileswarapuram village, 25 May 2007: 3 males, 6 females; at Masakapalli village, 18 May 2007: 2 males, 13 females; at Brhamapuri village, 4 March 2008: 4 females only; on 30 November 2010: 1 male, 3 females; near Yanam town, 4 March, 2008: 12 males, 4 females; Coll. V. R. Totakura. River Krishna at Ganjavanipalem village, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, South India, 10 July 2008; 15 males, 20 females; Coll. V. R. Totakura. Remarks. The specimens examined by us agree well with the original account of A. inopinata, which is the lone Indian representative of Allocyclopina; its congeners include the Madagascan Allocyclopina madagassica Kiefer, 1954, the Reunionese Allocyclopina ambigua Kiefer, 1960, and the South Australian Allocyclopina australiensis Karanovic, 2008. Of these, A. australiensis (see Karanovic 2008) does not perfectly fit the revised diagnosis of Allocyclopina (see Defaye & Ranga Reddy 2008), perhaps belonging to a different lineage group. A. inopinata is often found in brackish water conditions that occur in certain hyporheic habitats, especially during summer, and it is widely distributed in the coastal hyporheic habitats of the Rivers Krishna and Godavari. The fauna that accompanied this species on various occasions and at different localities were: Cerconeotes sp., Parastenocaris mahanadi Ranga Reddy & Defaye, 2007, unidentified non-parastenocaridid harpacticoids, polychaetes, and nematodes.Published as part of Totakura, Venkateswara Rao & Reddy, Yenumula Ranga, 2015, Groundwater cyclopoid copepods of peninsular India, with description of eight new species, pp. 1-93 in Zootaxa 3945 (1) on page 7, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3945.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28823
