Abstract
Stygocyclopia balearica, a new genus and species of stygobiont pseudoc yclopiid calanoid copepod is described from the Balearic Islands (Medi terranean). It was restricted to anchihaline cave waters with saliniti es of 18 parts per thousand or more. Its close relationship with Parac yclopia FOSSHAGEN, from anchihaline caves on Bermuda suggests a possib le tethyan relict distribution. This is the first record of the family Pseudocyclopiidae SARS in Mediterranean waters.
