ABSTRACT. Data on diversity of Crustacea (excluding Ostracoda) in small water bodies located on islands of the Nenets Autonomous Area are summarized based on original materials and published records. We have identified 59 taxa of crustaceans in original samples from 61 small water bodies located on Kolguev, Vaygach, Dolgy, Golets and Matveev islands. According to accumulation curves, the final species diversity is estimated by us incompletely. Additional efforts are necessary for more accurate description of local faunas. Among recorded groups, microcrustaceans (cladocerans and copepods) with broad ecological and geographical preferences are the leaders in the number of species. The investigated islands are characterized by oligodominant taxocoenosis containing only two taxa (Chydorus belaevae Klimovsky et Kotov, 2015 and Acanthocyclops vernalis (Fischer, 1853)). But all revealed taxa are interesting in the frame of further phylogeographic studies and analysis of the history of Arctic island colonization by invertebrates after the Last Glacial Maximum.
KEY WORDS: Cladocera, Copepoda, Arctic islands, fauna, biogeography.
