Forró, L.; Dussart, B.: Copepoda taxa described by E. Daday, together with a catalogue of pertinent material in the Hungarian Natural History Museum
Copepoda taxa described by E. DADAY, together with a catalogue of pertinent material in the Hungarian Natural History Museum By L. FORRÓ & B. DUSSART (Received 4 January, 1985) ABSTRACT. The catalogue contains a) a numbered chronological list of papers in which DADAY dealt with taxa that he described, together with an inventory of all of DADAY's taxa in each paper; b) a numbered alphabetical list of the taxa DADAY described, keyed to the particular papers of the former list, together with reference from the literature indicating the present status of each taxon; and c) a list of all of DADAY's Copepoda material deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, including 47 taxa described by DADAY. E. DADAY (1855-1920) worked on the systematics of nearly all groups of aquatic microfauna during his scientific career of over 40 years. About half of his works are studies on Crustacea, mostly on microcrustaceans. The catalogues of the Cladocera, Anostraca, and Conchostraca taxa and collection of DADAY have already been published (FORRO and FREY, 1982; FORRÓ and BRTEK, 1984), the goal of this paper is to publish the Copepoda taxa and collection of his. This paper represents a catalogue of the copepod taxa DADAY described and what specimens from his original material are extant. We hope this catalogue will provide an incentive as well as a tool for specialists in Copepoda to undertake a study of their group. The catalogue is divided into three parts: 1) a numbered chronological list of papers in which DADAY either described new taxa or referred to those he had described earlier, together with an inventory of all DADAY' s taxa in each paper, 2) a numbered alphabetical list of the taxa DADAY described, keyed to the particular papers in which they are described or mentioned, together with a reference from the literature indicating the present status of each taxon, and 3) a list of all of DADAY' s Copepoda in the Hungarian Natural History Museum . We are indebted to Dr I. A. E. BAYLY, Department of Zoology, Monash University, Clayton, Australia, for permitting the publication of unpublished results on the boeckellid material of the DADAY collection. Table 1 is a numbered chronological list of papers by DADAY in which he either described new copepod taxa or referred to those he had described previously. An inventory of such taxa is given for each paper. Papers 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 are of faunistical nature, published in Hungarian, but also contain Latin descriptions of the new taxa. Paper 6 is a monograph of the free-living Copepoda of Hungary, with Hungarian and Latin descriptions and illustrations. Paper 13 was published in Hungarian, without figures, of the three new species described in this paper Canthocamptu s balatonicus was not mentioned later by DADAY. Paper 27 contains equivalent Hungarian and German versions side by side in adjacent columns. Pairs 2/3, 8/9 and 10/11 were published in the same year in the same journal. Pairs 21/22, 31/32, 34/35 and 36/37 were published in the same year but in different journals. Pairs
