“…Species of Bestiolina are concentrated in tropical latitudes of different oceans, and its origin has been speculated to be Indo-Malayan (Ali et al 2007). Except for the record of Bestiolinamexicana in the Gulf of Mexico (Suárez-Morales and Almeyda-Artigas 2016), no other species of Bestiolina have been hitherto recorded in coastal waters of the Americas.…”

“…The family Paracalanidae is represented by seven genera (Razouls et al 2018; Walter and Boxshall 2018) and are among the common estuarine and coastal planktonic copepods of tropical and subtropical latitudes (Suárez-Morales and Almeyda-Artigas 2016). The paracalanid genus Bestiolina (Andronov 1991) currently includes eight species and was originally named Bestiola (Andronov 1972).…”

“…It can be considered as a relatively recently described genus in relation to the first descriptions of marine planktonic copepod species done at the middle of the 19 th century (i.e., Dana 1852; Claus 1863; Boeck 1865; Brady 1899). Most species of Bestiolina were described in the last 20 years (Mulyadi 2004; Ali et al 2007; Moon et al 2010; Suárez-Morales and Almeyda-Artigas 2016). The poor knowledge of the diversity and distributional patterns of the genus could be explained by their small size (670–1008 µm), inappropriate sampling techniques (nets with mesh size > 200 µm) and confusion with copepodite stages of other paracalanid species.…”

Plankton samples obtained from estuarine waters of the Colombian Pacific yielded adults specimens of an undescribed species of a paracalanid copepod of the genus Bestiolina. It most closely resembles two Asian species; B.sinica (Shen & Lee, 1966) from China and B.arabica (Ali, Al-Yamani & Prusova, 2007) from the Arabian Gulf. These three species share the absence of spinules on the posterior surfaces of exopod segments of legs 2, 3 and 4. Bestiolinasarae Dorado-Roncancio & Gaviria, sp. n. can be easily separated from B.sinica by the number of spinules on the anterior surface of endopod 2 of legs 2 and 3, and by the absence of spinules on the posterior surface of second endopod of leg 4. It can be distinguished from B.arabica by the presence of spinules on the posterior surface of endopod 2 of same legs (absent in B.arabica), and the size of spinules on the anterior surface of the same segments. The only other species known from the Americas, B.mexicana (Suárez-Morales & Almeyda-Artigas, 2016), can be distinguished from Bestiolinasarae Dorado-Roncancio & Gaviria, sp. n. by the presence of spinules on the posterior surface of the leg 2 first exopodal segment and the morphology of the mandible blade. The morphological and meristic differences to the eight known species of the genus are presented. An identification key to the species of Bestiolina is provided.

“…On the contrary, Bestiolina species has a small rudimentary fifth leg in female. In the past two decades, a significant number of Bestiolina species have been documented [15][16][17][18]. However, their small size (>1mm), inadequate sampling techniques (using mesh size above 200 µm) and misidentification with copepodite stages of other paracalanid species makes them challenging to study [19].…”

Copepods are the most abundant metazoans on Earth, exhibit remarkable species diversity and global distribution. Accurate species identification of copepods presents a challenge due to their cryptic nature, necessitating meticulous examination and differentiation. To address this challenge, innovative approaches utilizing molecular markers have emerged, enabling more reliable and precise species identification. Mitochondrial genes, which are characterized by high variability, have proven invaluable in uncovering taxonomically significant variations among copepod species. In this study, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome analysis of the marine calanoid copepod Bestiolina similis (Sewell, 1914). Recent investigations employing whole mitochondrial genome-based phylogenetic analyses have generated considerable interest in exploring the deep branching patterns of arthropods. The complete mitochondrial genome of B. similis spans 23,704 base pairs and includes 13 protein-coding genes and 20 transfer RNA genes. The nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial genome is characterized by 43.42% adenine, 43.22% thymine, 6.48% guanine, and 6.88% cytosine. Maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome were constructed of the available copepod species. Mitochondrial ge-nome-based phylogenies often reveal intriguing and distinctive topologies compared to traditional phylogenetic approaches. However, the sequencing of copepod mitochondrial genomes, particularly within the calanoid copepods remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the extracted mitochondrial genome, incorporating available data, to enhance our understanding of the evolutionary relationships among calanoid copepods.
