Abstract:
Occasional collections of organisms from water bodies of the Andean Region and the Pacific coast of Colombia yieldedtwo species of canthocamptid harpacticoids belonging to the genus Attheyella Brady, 1880. A new species, Attheyella(Canthosella) chocoensis n. sp., inhabiting phytotelmata of the forest at the Pacific Chocó State is described. Attheyella(Delachauxiella) freyi Löffler, 1963, described from Ecuador, was found in a high mountain pond in the southern Colom-bian Andes, and redescribed here. Both species are illustrated with line drawings and SEM photographs. A special mor-phological structure was discovered on the antenna of male and female Attheyella (D.) freyi: it is probably present in otherspecies of the subgenus Delachauxiella Brehm, 1926, as well. An identification key to Colombian species of the family Canthocamptidae is provided.
