The seventh Thai species of Bryocyclops Kiefer, 1927 – Bryocyclops jayabhumisp. nov. – was found in a karst cave in the Chaiyaphum Province of north-eastern Thailand. The new species differs from all previously-known species by the absence of an inner seta on the proximal endopod of the first four swimming legs. Bryocyclops jayabhumisp. nov. is most similar to B. maholarnensis Watiroyram, Brancelj & Sanoamuang, 2015 – the monotypic species of Group VII, which was previously described from Thailand. However, the new species differs from B. maholarnensis by having the following characteristics: i) posterior margin of urosomites serrated; ii) anal operculum triangular with acute-tip; iii) P1–P4Enp-1 without an inner seta; iv) armature on the female P2–P3Enp-2 and P4Enp; v) a transformed spine on the male P3Enp-2. In this study, the generic affinity of the genus Bryocyclops Kiefer, 1927 is discussed and redefined, based on the available literature concerning its principle morphology to fill the present knowledge gap about the characteristics of the genus.

Abstract A new species of the cyclopoid copepod genus Paramacrochiron, P. tridentatum, which is parasitic on the rhizostome medusa, Versuriga anadyoneme (Maas, 1903), is described from Vietnam. This is the tenth species within the genus. The new species is distinguishable from other congeners by the combination of the following features: (1) female second maxillipedal segment with 3 acutely pointed processes terminally; (2) female leg 4 endopod as long as or slightly longer than exopod; (3) male maxilliped with a small, acutely pointed process at subterminal corner of the first segment and a row of relatively coarse spinules along the inner margin of the second segment. The present study most probably implies a high species diversity of Paramacrochiron in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific region.

Neocyclops (Protoneocyclops) ferrarii sp. n. is described from Candy’s Pond, Twin Cays, Belize. It is morphologically closest to N. (P.) wellsi Petkovski, 1986 from Mozambique and N. (P.) herbsti Petkovski, 1986 from the Red Sea.
