A NEW SPECIES OF RHINEDIAPTOMUS KIEFER (COPEPODA, CALANOIDA) FROM SOUTH INDIA BY Y. RANGA REDDY and Y. RADHAKRISHNA Department of Zoology, Nagarjuna University, Nagarjunanagar 522510, S. India The genus Rhinediaptomu.r was established by Kiefer ( 1936) and it is still known to be monotypic with R. indicus Kiefer. A plankton sample obtained from a pool at Mahanandi, a pilgrim centre 12 km from Nandyal town ( 15°30'N 78°29'E) in Andhra Pradesh, South India, on 23 July 1974, contained large number of specimens of this genus. A critical examination of same indicates that, in spite of some close similarities to R. indicus, they possess certain unique mor- phological features justifying the description of a new species, which is named after its type locality as Rhinediaptonzu.r mahanandiensis, in the present paper. Rhinediaptomus mahanandiensis n. sp. (figs. 1-10) The holotype has been deposited in the Department of Zoology, Nagarjuna University, Nagarjunanagar, and the paratypes (5 females and 5 males) in the British Museum (Natural History), London, (nos. 1 9 7 8 . 2 44- 2 5 2 ) .. Female Total length ranging from 1.64 to 1.72 mm, average of 20 specimens 1.65 mm. Body (figs. 1-2) rather stout, greatest width
