description: <i>Macrocyclops albidus</i> (Jurine, 1820) <b>Material examined.</b> Spillway Cave (YN565), Yanchep National Park, Western Australia (31°32'41''S, 115°40'37''E): 20 &amp;female; (1 dissected and mounted on slide) and 4 copepodids (AM P.78715–P.78716), 8 November, 2005; Mrs. King’s tumulus spring, Bullsbrook, Western Australia (31°39'04''S, 115°57'11''E): 5 &amp;female; and 6 copepodids, 8 May, 1996; Sue’s spring (South), Bullsbrook, Western Australia (31°38'42''S, 115°58'17''E): 3 copepodids, 1 February, 2008; 2 &amp;female; and 2 copepodids, 22 August, 2008. <b>Remarks.</b> Our material agrees favourably with the redescription of <i>Macrocyclops albidus</i> (Jurine, 1820) provided by Ueda <i>et al</i>. (1996). This cosmopolitan species is the only representative of <i>Macrocyclops</i> known to occur in Australia (Dussart &amp; Defaye 2006). It has been recorded previously from epigean habitats in New South Wales (G. O. Sars, 1908; Bayly 1964), Queensland (Bayly <i>loc</i>. <i>cit</i>.; Timms 1967), South Australia (Cooling &amp; Boulton 1993), Victoria (Timms 1981) and Western Australia (Pusey &amp; Edward 1990; Bayly 1992; Cale <i>et al</i>. 2004; Pinder <i>et al</i>. 2004). Although <i>M</i>. <i>albidus</i> typically inhabits lakes and streams (Fernando &amp; Ponyi 1981), it is known to occur, as observed in the present study, in ground waters as well (Itô 1957; Pospisil 1999; Reeves <i>et al</i>. 2000; Bruno &amp; Perry 2004; Lewis &amp; Reid 2007; Moseley 2007).
