Abstract
Two new North American taxa of the canthocamptid harpacticoid copepod genus Gulcamptus are defined. Alaskan populations originally ascribed to G. uenoi MIURA are now considered a distinct taxon for which the name G. alaskaensis, new species, is proposed. The female of Gulcamptus huronensis, new species, is described from Lake Huron and Alaska ; the male is unknown.
The genus Neomaraenobiotus FLOSSNER is considered a synonym of Gulcamptus MIURA, and N. laurentiacus FLOSSNER, from Canada, is transferred to Gulcamptus. The diagnosis of Gulcamptus is emended.
Species of Gulcamptus have now been found in Korea, Japan (Hokkaido), Canada (Yukon and North West Territories) and the United States (Alaska and Lake Huron).
