Rezumat:
Teratocyclops cubensis Ple¸sa, 1981 (Copepoda, Cyclopidae) is redescribed on the basis of specimens
deposited in the collection of the Speleological Institute „Emil Racovitza”, Cluj, Romania.
The genus Teratocyclops Ple¸sa, 1981 is redeŽ ned, mainly characterized by the following characters
of the female: the general habitus of the body, the 11-segmented antennule, the presence of the vestigial
exopodite on the antenna, the segmentation of the swimming legs, the structure of the distal
segment of the endopoditeof leg P4 with 1 spine and 3 setae, and the proximal segment of leg 5 fused
to the somite. The relationship to the closely related genera Metacyclops Kiefer, 1927, Apocyclops
Lindberg, 1942, and Goniocyclops Kiefer, 1955 are discussed.
