Two new species of Nitocrella (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida) from groundwaters of northwestern Australia expand the geographic range of the genus in a global hotspot of subterranean biodiversity

In Australia, the Ameiridae is the most diverse harpacticoid family in groundwater, with 35 species hitherto reported.
