Two new species of (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae) from the Russian Arctic and comparison with (Claus, 1863).

Two new species of Chappuis, 1929 from the Russian Arctic from the species group are described: and A complete morphological comparison of the new species with the type species (Claus, 1863) was carried out. Significant interspecific differences were shown at the level of microcharacters, such as integumental sensillae and pores, ornamentation of segments of mouthparts and swimming legs, and pores on swimming legs. A significant correlation has also been shown in the shape of the caudal rami of the females and the antennules of the males, which is likely caused by an evolutionary sexual arms race. and have a similar structure of caudal rami, but completely different male antennules, which may indicate a convergent origin of modifications and highlights the importance of depicting male antennules in the species descriptions.
