New Taxa, chiefly of Copepoda described by the late R. B. Seymour Sewell, between 1912 and 1960

Abstract

In the course of nearly fifty years of work on the aquatic fauna of India and adjacent countries, and the seas around India, the late Dr. Seymour Sewel13 described several new taxa of marine, brackishwater and freshwater organisms chiefly belonging to the Class Copepoda. Based on the R.I.M.S. Investigator collections, the John Murray Expedition material, and other collections from Indian waters, Sewell described several new genera, subgenera, and about 170 new species, subspecies, varieties and forms of Copepoda.
