"Interesting discoveries still seem to have yet to be made on the immense territory of the Russian Empire. Very recently, Sovinsky reported a Diaptomus near Kiew which he considers unprecedented. The species, carefully described and figured, has not received a name and we propose calling it D. Sovinskyi (12)."
