Abstract
A new harpacticoid copepod of the genus Onychocamptus was discovered d uring an investigation of a lagoon in Kotzebue Sound in northwestern A laska. Onychocamptus krusensterni n. sp. was the predominant copepod i n Lower Krusenstern Lagoon. It is distinguished from the other members of the genus Onychocamptus by having only five spines and setae on th e terminal exopod segment of swimming leg 4 of females and the complex ornamentation of antennules of males.
