DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GENUS NEOCYCLOPS GURNEY (COPEPODA, HALICYCLOPINAE) IN GROUNDWATER OF ITALY1) BY G. L. PESCE and D. P. GALASSI Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Università di L'Aquila, Italy During extensive stygobiological researches, conducted by the "Diparti- mento di Scienze Ambientali" of the University of L'Aquila (Italy), between 1974 and 1980, on groundwater of south Italy, many cyclopid and harpacticoid copepods, for the greater part discussed in detail elsewhere (Pesce et al., 1978; Pesce, 1983; Pesce et al., in press), were obtained. More recent sampling in brackish underground habitats of the same region, viz. in the lake of "Cocito", Zinzulusa cave, near Otranto (Apulia, south Italy), to our great surprise yielded some specimens of the rare cyclopid copepod Neocyclops remanei mediterraneus (Kiefer, 1960). Biogeographically, the above discovery is noteworthy since the genus Neocyclops was previously unrecorded from Italy, while N. remanei mediterraneus was known only from the type-locality, viz. groundwaters of Minorca (Balearics), in the Old World, and from coastal groundwaters of Cuba, in the New World. The material was entrusted to us for study through the kindness of Dr. B. Cicolani and Dr. A. Di Sabatino, at present attached to our Department, to whom
