Description:
Among the notes and collections that came to the Zoological Museum, Amsterdam, after Dr H. C. REDEKE\xe2\x80\x99s death in 1945, I found an entirely completed manuscript, dealing with a new D\xe2\x80\x99Arcythompsonia found in a canal at Den Helder (Netherlands). This is the species cited as nomen nudum by KARL LANG (1948, p. 274), in his \xe2\x80\x9cMonographie der Harpacticiden\xe2\x80\x9d.\nPencil drawings and two coloured pictures relating to this species were found among REDEKE\xe2\x80\x99s papers. They have been redrawn in China Ink, without important alterations. The original slides used for these illustrations were found among the temporary glycerin mounts of Dr REDEKE; they are now \xe2\x80\x94 in a rather bad condition of course \xe2\x80\x94 in the Zoological Museum, with the collection number Co. 105,002. The holotype \xe2\x99\x82 (Z.M.A. coll. no. Co. 105,000) and allotype \xe2\x99\x80 (Z.M.A. coll. no. Co. 105,001) were selected from a vial labelled in REDEKE\xe2\x80\x99s handwriting \xe2\x80\x9cD\xe2\x80\x99 Arcythompsonia neglecta n.sp.\xe2\x80\x9d
