Abstract
The female of Macrocyclops fuscus (Jurine, 1820) is redescribed. Descr iptions of four naupliar stages (N I, N III, N IV, N V) of M.fuscus ar e provided, whereas naupliar stages II and VI are presumably present, but could not be obtained from the culture due to a lack of sufficient instars. Characters of the adult and naupliar external morphology are discussed with respect to previous studies.
