- Abstract
Two new species of the genus Aetideopsis (Copepoda, Calanoida, Aetideidae) are described from Scott Reef, Western Australia (14.05°S 121.85°E). The two species co-occurred in a channel approximately 450 m in depth separating the two adjacent coral atolls of the Scott Reef complex. Aetideopsis rhinoceros n. sp. is remarkable for the development of the right branch of the bifurcate rostrum into a large horn, which is recurved and directed antero-dorsally in the female, but is straighter and directed ventrally in the male. Aetideopsis browsei n. sp. is superficially similar to A. tumorosa Bradford, 1969, but differs in the form of the rostrum, in having shorter pointed processes on Th5, and in having 10 rather than 9 setae on endopod segment 2 of the mandible palp.
