Abstract
Aglaodiaptomus savagei, new species, was collected from a seasonal wetland pond in Kershaw County, South Carolina, U.S.A. Additional populations were found in eastern Noah Carolina, U.S.A. The female most closely resembles A. forbesi Light, 1938, and A. lintoni Forbes, 1893, but they are separated b y the armament of the antennule, body length, and geographic range. Male A. savagei can be confused with male A. spatulocrenatus Pearse, 1906. Differe nces occur mainly in the ornamentation of the fifth leg, as well as segment sizes in the fifth leg.
