Description
Summary:Acartia mollicula Pavlova et Shmeleva, sp. n. and A. eremeevi Pavlova et Shmeleva, sp. n. are described and figured. The copepods were found in zooplankton samples collected by the Juday net from 0–10 m depth in the coastal sea water of Martyn Bay, Sevastopol. Though the new species, A. mollicula and A. eremeevi, are similar to A. clausi (“small” form), A. margalefi Alcaraz and another Acartia from Black Sea they have smaller body size, different structure and armature of the fifth legs, and correlation between length/width of prosome and urosome, besides, A. mollicula have the rostrum. Приведено иллюстрированное описание двух новых видов рода Acartia: Acartia mollicula Pavlova et Shmeleva, sp. n. и Acartia eremeevi Pavlova et Shmeleva, sp. n., обнаруженных в зоопланктонных пробах, собранных сетью Джеди из слоя 0–10 м в прибрежных водах около г. Севастополя (Мартынова бухта). Оба новых вида, A. mollicula и A. eremeevi, близки к A. clausi («малая» форма), A. margalefi Alcaraz и другим черноморским Acartia, но отличаются от них меньшими размерами, различным соотношением длины просомы и уросомы к их ширине, структурой и вооружением пятых ног; у A. mollicula имеется рострум.
