Heterolaophonte natator n. sp. (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from Haida Gwai, British Columbia — and possible relatives in the U.K. and Iceland
Abstract A new species of the genus Heterolaophonte Lang, 1948 is described. Heterolaophonte natator n. sp. was first collected from eelgrass in Louscoone Inlet, Moresby Island, Haida Gwai.

Both unique and shared characteristics are provided in the description as well as a discussion of similar copepods, particularly the association with a European species, as well as three others with similar characteristics, all of whom live in formerly glaciated areas.
