A total of 26 species, classified into 14 genera and seven
families, was recorded on 103 different beaches in the sampling
supporting this data. As no cyclopod or poecilostomatoid copepods have
previously been reported from the Australian marine interstitial, all
species are new records for this environment, and a new cyclopoid family
has been established to accommodate a single new genus and species from
New South Wales. Along with text giving a close description,
variability, discussion of relevant features and findings, etymology,
type and species for each entry are clear and useful line drawings
shoeing dorsal and ventral views. The author also provides an
introduction and summary and notes on methods and materials.
