Introduction
After original description of Acartia (Dana, 1846), Steuer (1923) included 32 species into his monograph
of this genus. Of them only 11 species were known from the Mediterranean and the Black Seas (Rose, 1933).
Later, six species from the Atlantic Ocean were added to the list (Bradford, 1976) and generus Acartia was
revised (Bradford-Grieve, 1999). F. Vives and A. A. Shmeleva (2007) reported about 17 species of Acartia from
the Mediterranean Sea. A number of recent publications mentioned copepods formerly unknown in the Black
Sea (Unal et al., 2002; Shmeleva, Selifonova, 2005; Selifonova, Shmeleva, 2007; Shmeleva et al., 2008; Shmeleva
et al., 2009). Our paper focuses on a detailed description of two new copepods of the genus Acartia found in
the plankton samples regularly collected during 2008 in Martyn Bay of Sevastopol (Black Sea). Acartia are small
copepods with the oval or elongated body 0.5 to 1.70 mm long. Though small in size, copepods of this genus
are an important food item for plankton-eating fishes. Acartia are common in coastal sea water of the tropical
Indian and Atlantic Oceans and in the Black Sea.
Material and methods
Samples of plankton were collected in Martyn Bay of Sevastopol from a specialized inshore motor-boat
at stations located about 100 m off the shore ( = 44°37'06'', = 33°30'50''). The Small Martyn Bay is in close
vicinity to the entrance to Sevastopol Bay separated from the open sea by a pier. Samples were taken monthly
year round beginning from January 2008, from the depth 10 m and up to the surface, with a plankton net (36 cm
Vestnik zoologii, 44(2): 99–106, 2010 Ôàóíà è ñèñòåìàòèêà
in diameter, 156 µm mesh size). The plankton samples were preserved with borax buffered formaldehyde, final
concentration of 4%, for further examination at the laboratory of the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas,
Sevastopol (IBSS). Total length of specimens was measured from the frontal edge of head to the end of caudal
rami. Prosome of female copepods was measured from the anterior edge of head to the base of genital somite.
Abbreviations of morphological structures follow that in Vyshkvartzeva (2000; 2005). All the measurements
are given in millimeters.

E t ymo l o g y. The species is named after academician V. N. Eremeev, Director of
the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine,
who has significantly contributed to investigation of zooplankton of the Black Sea.
Remark s. The new species were compared with other similar copepods known from
the Black Sea. The new copepods differ by the structure of the fifth legs in female spec-
imens. Female A. mollicula sp. n. do has no setae on the posterior surface, whereas A. ere-
meevi has setae on the proximal segment of the fifth leg (tabl. 2).
D i s t r i bu t ion. The two new species, A. mollicula and A. eremeevi, occur in the Black
Sea (Shmeleva et. al., 2008; Shmeleva et al., 2009), the Marmara (Unal et. al., 2000),
Red, and Levantine Sea, in coastal sea water of different salinity and temperature. They
have been recorded under the names Acartia sp., Acartia sp. 1, and Acartia sp. 2, corre-
spondingly.
