Abstract
    We illustrate four of the six calanoid copepods currently known from the lowland forest zone of Cameroon. Two are possibly shared with the savannah zone of West Africa. Of interest is a new record from the Korup forest of the recently discovered Camerundiaptomus djamai. A new species, Tropodiaptomus njinei is also described. It is closely related to Tropodiaptomus loveni. The composition of this highly endemic microfauna is discussed. It is suggested that Camerundiaptomus and Thermodiaptomus may share a common origin.
