Extract

Information on the reproduction of interstitial harpacticoid copepods is mainly restricted to occasional references in the taxonomic literature to the presence of ovigerous females in collections. C. G. Rao (1967) provides the only account of the life-history of an exclusively interstitial species. The only detailed field study of seasonal reproductive cycles of harpacticoid copepods are of two species of Platychelipus Brady on a mudflat (Barnett, 1970), and of a sand-dwelling benthic copepod, Asellopsis intermedia (T. Scott) (Lasker, Wells & Mclntyre, 1970).
