Clave para la identificación de los estadíos de desarrollo (inmaduros IV-V y adultos VI) de copépodos (Crustacea, Copepoda) del sector nerítico bonaerense y norpatagónico.

In this work compilation is made of the descriptions provided by different authors about the ontogenetic changes that occur along the vital cycle of a group of planktonic copepods from Argentine Sea. The list includes 17 species common to the Buenos Aires and northpatagonian neritic sector, namely: calanoids Calanus simillimus, C. australis, Calanoides carinatus, Neocalanus tonsus, Eucalanus monachus, Paracalanus parvus, Ctenocalanus vanus, Clausocalanus brevipes, Drepanopus forcipatus, Centropages brachiatus, Acartia tonsa, Labidocera fluviatilis and Temora stylifera; ciclopoids Oithona nana and O. helgolandica and harpacticoids Euterpina acutifrons and Microsetella norvegica. The ontogenetic descriptions correspond to copepodids development stages IV and V and adults (VI) with specification of the differences between sexes. Stages previous to IV were not included since they do not have the fifth pair of legs, element of an essential diagnostic value. The information, based on morphological and meristic details of the abdomen and fifth pair of legs, is presented through an algorithm with drawings and photomicrographies trying to avoid, as far as possible, the need for a previous dissection.
