Abstract
Two new species of Halicyclops, H. reidae and H. maculatus, are descri bed from the groundwater and marsh sediment of Wye Island, Maryland. H alicyclops maculatus is the first species of the genus to show sexual dimorphism in the males consisting of digitiform setae on the endopodi te of swimming legs 1 and 2. Halicyclops reidae is the only American s pecies of the genus having the inner distal seta of the leg 4 endopodi te 3 plumose and the proximal seta spiniform. A key for identification of the Halicyclops species from North America is provided.
