Phylogeny and biogeography of the genus Pseudectinosoma, and description of P. janineae sp n. (Crustacea, Copepoda, Ectinosomatidae).

Abstract:

Recent stygobiological investigations carried out in the circum-Mediterranean area resulted in the discovery of a new species of the genus Pseudectinosoma Kunz, described herein as P.janineae sp. n. The taxonomic status of the genus is reviewed in a phylogenetic perspective. The origin of the present-day distribution of the genus Pseudectinosoma is reconstructed both from patterns of relationships among the species and from palaeogeographical data.
