Canthocamptus incurvisetosus | |
Kikuchicamptus incurvisetosus is a species of freshwater copepod in the family Canthocamptidae.[2] It is endemic to Korea.[2]
It was first described by Chang Cheon Young and Teruo Ishida in 2001,[1][3] but was transferred in 2022 to the new genus, Kikuchicamptus, by Alexander Alexeevich Novikov and Dayana Sharafutdinova[1] on the basis of morphological differences.[4]
Description
[edit]This freshwater copepod lives in fallen leaves in streams and springs.[2] The female is from 0.69 to 0.73 mm long and the male is slightly smaller.[2] It is common in the mountain waters of Korea.[2]
This species differs from similar species by its outer caudal setae of the caudal peduncle being twisted inward.[2]
Distribution
[edit]It is found in the central and southern regions of Korea, but not the Odaesan area nor on Jeju Island.[2]
