The first calanoid described from South America was Diaptomus brasiliensis Lubbock, “As the distribution maps of the Diaptomidae 1855 from Port-Désir, Patagonia, collected by Darwin. show, South America still has some large blank areas. Later De Guerne & Richard (1889) created the genus The distribution for its entire tropical and subtropical Boeckella (Centropagidae) to accommodate D. regions is still scantily known” (Brandorff, 1976). brasiliensis and another species, Boeckia triarticulata Thirty-two years later we can see that this picture Thomson, 1883, from New Zealand. Wright (1927) remains the same. In the particular case of Brasil we and Brandorff (1976) called the former species can add to the Amazon the inland water bodies of the Pseudoboeckella, but Bayly (1992a) fused these two southern and central-western regions as large blank genera. Nicolet (in Gay, 1848-49) described Cyclops areas. The distribution, with exceptions, are longicornis from Chile, but De Guerne & Richard concentrated around particular points where the few (1889) said “Bien qu’elle ait été signalé sous le nom research centres are established. Consequently the de Cyclops, le texte et les figures, malgré leur distribution presented here represent more the insuffisance, tendent à la faire rapporter au genre concentration of researchers than the animals’ natural Diaptomus. Il serait cependant difficile de se prononcer distribution patterns. With the Pseudodiaptomidae we catégoriquement.” Based on these observations they have a better picture, in spite of the paucity of large- put this species under section “espèces insuffisamment scale studies along the Brasilian coast where the décrites,” as Diaptomus longicornis. Wright (1927) representatives of this family mainly occur. Following observed that although the form was inadequately the revision of the New World species of described, it was believed to belong to the genus Pseudodiaptomus by Walter (1989), we can perhaps Boeckella, following Giesbrecht & Schmeil (1898). add new records of known or introduced species, but Diaptomus gibber (Poppe in De Guerne & Richard, the distributional ranges already identified will probably 1889), from Itajaí, Santa Catarina, Brasil, is not change much. The southern family Centropagidae undoubtedly the first representative of the Diaptomidae was reported as reaching at most just north of Buenos described from South America. Poppe (1891) Aires, Argentina, until Gloeden (1994, 1997) recently described another species, Diaptomus deitersi, from recorded the occurrence of two species in Rio Grande Cuiabá in western Brasil. Dahl (1894) described, do Sul, Brasil, the first records of this family in the although insufficiently, the first diaptomid from the country. mouth of the Amazon River, D. henseni. Richard If one wants to begin gathering information (1897a, b) and Mrázek (1901) added Diaptomus bergi about South American copepods, particularly in Brasil, and Diaptomus michaelseni respectively. Sars (1901) the compilations by Björnberg (1964) and authors in in the same year, described three new species (D. Young (1998) are essential starting points. Herein, I furcatus, D. coronatus and D. conifer) reared in an present the distribution and historical background of aquarium from dried mud from the state of São Paulo, genera in the families Diaptomidae (12 genera), Brasil. Daday (1905) described D. falcifer and D. anisitsi Pseudodiaptomidae (1 genus), and Centropagidae (1 from Paraguay. Tollinger (1911) was the next after the genus) occurring in Brasil. paper of De Guerne & Richard (1889) to show the distribution of calanoid copepods in South America. FAMILY DIAPTOMIDAE She showed the distribution of 10 species of Nearly all species of freshwater calanoids, Diaptomus, 15 species of Centropagidae and 3 species mainly Diaptomidae, discovered in South America were of Pseudodiaptomidae. Subsequently, two additional described under the name Diaptomus (sensu lato) species were described by Douwe (1911), D. gracilipes 5 Biol. Geral Exper. and D. aculeatus. Wright (1927) drew attention to the groups. Among those closely related he listed the most fact that probably D. aculeatus was identical with D. distinct and homogeneous group: D. insolitus, D. furcatus (Sars, 1901) and treated them as synonymous. calamensis, and D. flexipes, which later became the Thiébaud (1912) described D. colombiensis from genus Rhacodiaptomus. On that occasion Wright Colombia. This species was found by Juday in stated “it seems inadvisable, at this time, to make a Guatemala and subsequently by Marsh in Panama. formal division of the South American species into Juday submitted the species for publication as D. groups.” marshi. Marsh used Juday’s descriptions in his paper, Brehm (1933a) proposed the genus conceding him the authorship. However Marsh’s paper Argyrodiaptomus to accommodate D. bergi Richard, was published in 1913, before Juday’s paper, published 1897, D. furcatus Douwe, 1911, D. aculeatus Douwe, in 1914, because of delay during publication. This 1911, D. spiniger Brian, 1926, D. denticulatus Pesta, caused some confusion about the authorship of the 1927, and one new species, D. granulosus, described species, and later in establishing which name had by himself on that occasion. priority. Almost everyone thought that Thiébaud’s Kiefer (1932) published a proposal for a system publication came out in 1914, with the whole volume of the Diaptomidae from the Old World. Following of the journal, and not separately in 1912 as Kiefer this idea, in 1936 (Kiefer, 1936a), after examination (1936b) noted. I confirmed this asking for the front of material from South America, created 6 new genera cover of that publication and the year printed there is to include 18 Diaptomus species of the 41 then undoubtedly 1912. Therefore D. colombiensis described. Nowadays 7 species remain as “Diaptomus” Thiébaud, 1912 is the valid name. Previously, Wilson sensu lato. Kiefer (1936a) added D. azevedoi (Wright, (1953) had drawn attention to “the fact that Kiefer 1935) to the previously known species included in the (1936b, p. 309) has shown that the species named D. genus Argyrodiaptomus by Brehm (1933a), and marshi by Juday (1914) should be known as D. excluded D. spiniger. The genera created by Kiefer colombiensis Thiébaud. Kiefer has stated that (1936a) Thiébaud’s paper was actually published as a separate Rhacodiaptomus (3 species), Dactylodiaptomus (1 in 1912 instead 1924.” Thus, 14 species of species), Diaptomidae had been described up to that time. Wright Odontodiaptomus (1 species), and Idiodiaptomus (1 (1927) considered two of them identical with species). were Notodiaptomus Calodiaptomus (11 (1 species), species), previously described species, giving a total of 12 valid Brandorff (1973b) erected the genus Aspinus species. Wright (1927) revised the known species of with one new species (Aspinus acicularis). The species South American Diaptomus, based mainly on D. coronatus Sars, 1901 was transferred by Brandorff collections made by Miss Harriet Merrill in the years et al. (1982) to a new genus, Trichodiaptomus. This 1907 and 1908 and on previously published works. In genus was considered a synonym of Leptodiaptomus that paper 9 new species were described. From that Light, 1939, who because of an error had included the work until 1937, Wright described other new species name Trichodiaptomus instead of Eutrichodiaptomus of Diaptomus, and eventually (Wright,1938b) at some point in his work (Light, 1939: 474, 476). summarised knowledge of this group in South America. Defaye & Dussart (1993) noted that Brandorff et al. Commenting about the relationships of South American (1982) could not use the name Trichodiaptomus Diaptomidae, Wright (1927) wrote that little could be because it was already considered a synonym of said. However, he pointed out that some species were Leptodiaptomus, closely related, but others were so distinct that they Dasydiaptomus to replace it. would have to be the sole representatives of their and proposed the name Brandorff (1976) published a fundamental work 6 8 (1), 2008 on the geographic distribution of the Diaptomidae in D. azevedoi, D. bergi, D. argentinus, D. furcatus, D. South America. At that time the Diaptomidae included aculeatus, and one new species, D. neglectus. This is 60 species belonging to 10 genera; of these, 38 species one of the most important papers concerning occurred in Brasil. Argyrodiaptomus. Dussart (1985a), in another In 1987 and 1997, two new genera were created important contribution to knowledge of the genus, by Reid (1987, 1997), the Scolodiaptomus a n d redescribed the 8 species known at that time. Dussart Austrinodiaptomus, respectively The former received (1985b) described Argyrodiaptomus robertsonae from Diaptomus corderoi Sars, 1901, and the latter a new the Amazon region. This species had been previously species A. kleerekoperi described by Reid (1997) and confused with A. denticulatus (Dussart, 1985a). Reid Diaptomus inexspectatus Brehm, 1958. Gaviria (1989) (1997) described one new species, A. nhumirim, and established Colombia, raised A. furcatus var. macrochaetus Brehm, 1937 to Colombodiaptomus, to accommodate one species (C. species rank. This genus now has 14 species, 9 brandorffi) and one subspecies (C. brandorffi pilosa). occurring in Brasil. a new genus for Subsequent to Kiefer’s work (1936a) several new species were described and assigned to the known genera, but no one has attempted to redefine or clarify Argyrodiaptomus aculeatus (Douwe, 1911) the taxonomical situation of this family. (Fig. 1) Dussart (1985a) proposed four new subgenera (Notodiaptomus, Wrightius, Caleodiaptomus, and Diaptomus aculeatus Douwe, 1911: 162, figs. 3-4; Amazonius) within the genus Notodiaptomus, but he 1912: 312, figs. 6-12; Pesta, 1927: 70, 72, 80, did not define clearly these subgenera and his proposal figs. 3a-b; Brehm, 1933a: 283, 286; 1937a: 124; was difficult to accept (Reid, 1987).

Although Brandorff referred to this species in an Genus Austrinodiaptomus Reid, 1997 unpublished thesis (1972), the formal description of this species was only provided in 1973. This genus was created by Reid (1997) to include populations from Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brasil, formerly included in D. inexspectatus. She described Aspinus acicularis Brandorff, 1973 these Brasilian populations as A. kleerekoperi. The (Fig. 2) remaining populations of D. inexspectatus, from Argentina, were transferred to this new genus, and Aspinus acicularis Brandorff, 1972: 4, 7, 34, figs. 5966; 1973b: 206, 210, pl. 5, figs. 1-7, pl. 6, figs. 1- named A. inexspectatus (see Reid, 1997, for further explanation). 5; 1976: 618, fig. 3; Hardy, 1980: 594, 596, 604, 605; Löffler, 1981: 15; Brandorff et al., 1982: 76, 103, 109, 112; Dussart & Defaye, 1983: 141; Austrinodiaptomus kleerekoperi Reid, 1997 1995: 178, fig.

In 1965, Brehm returned to the problem, and mentioned that he Calodiaptomus perelegans (Wright, 1927) called the populations from those localities (Fig. 2) “bidigitatus-group” because of their variability and relationship with “Notodiaptomus perelegans.” Diaptomus perelegans Wright, 1927: 75, 78, 100, 102, Unfortunately he never provided a formal description pl. 1, fig. 10, pl. 2, figs. 1-3; 1938b: 562; Brehm, of this group or raised it to species rank. This attitude 1935a: 12, 13; 1958a: 151, 166; 1960: 52; Brandorff, caused problems, as will be discussed in the section 1972: 52; Andrade & Brandorff, 1975: 97; Reid, on the genus Notodiaptomus. Brandorff (1976) was the first to include the species described as D. perelegans in the genus Calodiaptomus , but without 1991: 736, 737, 738.

Wright (1937a) commented on the species included in Kiefer’s proposal: “Kiefer (1936a) proposed the new genus Genus Notodiaptomus Kiefer, 1936 Notodiaptomus to include the members of this group (nordestinus) and added the following species: D. The genus Notodiaptomus Kiefer, 1936 is the incompositus Brian (1926), D. anisitsi Daday (1905), most widely distributed and most species-rich genus D. santaremensis Wright (1927), and D. carteri of freshwater calanoids in the Neotropics. Dussart & Lowndes (1934). On the basis of the first examination Defaye (1983) listed 28 species in this genus; the of the first two, the writer agrees on their eligibility, number of nominal species is presently about 39, 24 but reserves judgement on the last two.” As a result, of these occurring in Brasil. Wright’s “nordestinus” group then included 13 to species. Wright never accepted Kiefer’s proposal accommodate 11 species originally placed in (1936a) to split part of the genus Diaptomus into six Diaptomus Westwood, 1836 (sensu lato). Five of genera, and wrote (1937a): “In a recent paper, Kiefer these, D. nordestinus Wright, 1935, D. henseni Dahl, (1936a) proposed 7 [in reality only 6, Argyrodiaptomus 1894, D. iheringi Wright, 1935, D. deitersi Poppe, having already been created by Brehm (1933a)] new 1891, and D. amazonicus Wright, 1935 had previously genera to include about one-half of the known species been considered part of the nordestinus-group created of Diaptomus from South America. The writer is by Wright (1935); the other 6 added by Kiefer (1936a) opposed to this policy at the present time because of were D. cearensis Wright, 1936, D. santaremensis the inadequate data available. In the past decade, the Wright, 1927, D. carteri Lowndes, 1934, D. anisitsi number of known species has increased greatly, and Daday, 1905, D. incompositus Brian, 1925, and D. there is good reason to believe that many species inflatus (Kiefer, 1933). Kiefer did not provide a formal remain undiscovered. Moreover, our information diagnosis for the new genus, but grouped these regarding numerous species is incomplete and of species based on a combination of characteristics (see doubtful accuracy. This objection may be of little Kiefer, 1936a). practical importance, because the groupings proposed Notodiaptomus was established Wright (1927) commented in regard to the formal by Kiefer seem to be valid and most of them had already division of Diaptomus species in South America: “It been recognized by others.

Record through 1934, verified that for South American In 1935, Wright described new species of Diaptomus, Diaptomus “from 1889 to 1914, 13 valid species were and defined and named as “nordestinus,” that group described; from 1915 to 1925 no new ones were added; of similar species (D. nordestinus, D. henseni, D. but since 1925 no less than 34 new and apparently iheringi, and D. deitersi).

He commented about this new droite ou à peine courbée, dressée et court’. situation: “Many years ago, when few species were Unfortunately, this does not constitute a differential known, some of them with bizarre structures, diagnosis, which allows us to separate this group from identification usually could be made from descriptions the other species of the genus.” One approach to this and illustrations lacking details. At present, with problem of diagnosis could be to reinstate Wright’s numerous species of close affinities, there is greater original concept and definition of the “nordestinus” need for thoroughness and precision in description of group (1935, 1937a), and to clearly redefine the genus new species.

Ringuelet (1958a) formally Since Wright’s count (1937a), several new designated Diaptomus deitersi Poppe, 1891 as the species were described and assigned to “genotype” of the genus Notodiaptomus. Under the Notodiaptomus, and some known species assigned International Code of Zoological Nomenclature this to Diaptomus were transferred into it. Some of them subsequent designation is valid. Then, Dussart & were added to Notodiaptomus without any basis or Defaye (1983) proposed that “par souci de priorité, reason given, transforming it into an increasingly c’est N. gibber (Poppe, 1889) qui pourrait être prise heterogeneous group. Probably this situation and the comme espèce-type.” But Diaptomus gibber was only need for revision and clear definition of this genus transferred to Notodiaptomus by Pallares in 1963, motivated Dussart’s (1985a) proposal. However when several years after the creation of the genus, and was he proposed the four new subgenera, he apparently not originally included in Notodiaptomus by Kiefer added more confusion to an already confused (1936a). Consequently, following Article 67(g) of the situation.

These northernmost records of this family in Brasil extend the areas of overlapping distribution of the Diaptomidae and Centropagidae FAMILY CENTROPAGIDAE (see Wright, 1927, 1937b; Löffler, 1958; Bayly, 1992a,b;). Until these records, the diaptomids were found Members of this family created by Giesbrecht exclusively north of Buenos Aires, and centropagids (1892) occur in both fresh and saline athalassic waters, south of it. Only the two species of Centropagidae and most are restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. occurring in Brasil are presented here (Fig. 10). Bayly (1992a) revised and fused the two genera occurring in Brasil, Boeckella and Pseudoboeckella. Bayly (1992b) also published a guide dealing with the Genus Boeckella De Guerne & Richard, 1889 non-marine Centropagidae of the world, which is the group treated in this paper, referring only to the two The synonymy of this genus follows Bayly species recorded from Brasil.

REFERENCES “Basic systematics data are important because they allow communication and exchange of information between scientists. Basic systematics data are important for conservation. Without detailed surveys and accurate taxonomy, it is impossible to identify the various species and evaluate their real conservation status, it is impossible to properly manage them, it is impossible to evaluate the conservation value of habitats or areas, it is impossible to establish strategies and it is impossible to set priorities. Without accurate names, it is impossible to list a species as endangered or threatened and also to take conservation action” (Kottelat, 1998). There are many types of nomenclatural problems. The older descriptions were made at a time without precise nomenclatural rules. For several names there is no type material, and for others the whereabouts of designated types are unknown. Additionally some species have been described recently without explicit mention of type material, and the actual existence of this material in most cases is still unclear. Type material, the standard of stable nomenclature, is of essential importance.
