New records of poecilostomatoid copepods (Crustacea) from a coastal system in the Colombian Caribbean with notes on morphology

Seven species of free-living poecilostomatoid copepods are recorded from a coastal system in northern Colombia; one of these records, Oncaea scottodicarloi Heron and Bradford-Grieve, is new for Colombia. The poecilostome copepod fauna from the surveyed area is represented m...

The poecilostome copepod fauna from the surveyed area is represented mostly by widespread species commonly found in neritic and oceanic waters of tropical latitudes, but local morphologic data are scarce in the regional literature.
