Karukinka fueguina n. Gen., N. Sp. (Copepoda, Calanoida, Centropagidae) from Tierra del Fuego

A new genus is established to accommodate a new species of freshwater centropagid related to the Boeckella clade. Karukinka fueguina n. gen., n. sp., is described on two males from a sample collected from an ephemeral pond in Tierra del Fuego. Diagnostic features of the new taxon are almost exclusiv...
