Tantulocarida is a highly specialised group of parasitic crustaceans that consists of about 33 species, treated as a class in superclass Multicrustacea. They are typically ectoparasites that infest copepods, isopods, tanaids, amphipods and ostracods.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cyclopoida</span> Order of crustaceans

The Cyclopoida are an order of small crustaceans from the subclass Copepoda. Like many other copepods, members of Cyclopoida are small, planktonic animals living both in the sea and in freshwater habitats. They are capable of rapid movement. Their larval development is metamorphic, and the embryos are carried in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite.

<i>Calanus</i> Genus of crustaceans

Calanus is a genus of marine copepod in the family Calanidae. The genus was split in 1974, with some species being placed in a new genus, Neocalanus. The following species are recognised:

Boeckella is a genus of copepods in the family Centropagidae.

Calamoecia is a genus of copepods in the family Centropagidae confined to Australasia. It is thought to have evolved since the separation of the Australian continent from Antarctica. Three of the Australian endemic species are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. The genus contains the following species:

Dussartius baeticus is a species of crustacean in the family Diaptomidae. It is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, having been found in south-eastern Spain, and in the waters of the Tagus estuary, the Caniçada reservoir, and four reservoirs in the Mondego system in Portugal.

Hemiboeckella powellensis, is a zooplankton copepod of which only four of its kind have ever been observed. "Hemiboeckella" refers to this genus being a subvariant of Boeckella, whilst “powellensis” refers to Lake Powell in Western Australia, the region it is endemic to. Its existence was initially recorded in May and June of 1977, and has not been observed since.

Hemiboeckella is a genus of crustacean in family Centropagidae. It contains the following species:

Paradiaptomus excellens is a species of copepod in the family Diaptomidae. It is endemic to South Africa.

Paradiaptomus simplex is a species of copepod in the family Diaptomidae. It is endemic to South Africa.

Metadiaptomus is a genus of crustacean in the family Diaptomidae, containing the following species:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ectinosomatidae</span> Family of crustaceans

Ectinosomatidae is a family of the Harpacticoida, a huge group of crustaceans belonging to the subclass Copepoda. Like most of their relatives, they are usually benthic inhabitants of marine environments. Ectinosomatidae commonly inhabit sediment and fragments of dead corals or glass sponges, and occasionally algae and bryozoans, in the deep oceans. In the epifaunal species, the first leg pair is often modified to allow the animals a better grip on the substrate.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Paracalanidae</span> Family of crustaceans

Paracalanidae is a family of Calanoid copepods, consisting of the following genera:

Phaennidae is a family of planktonic copepods, found in pelagic or benthopelagic waters. It contains the following genera:

Boeckella palustris is a species of copepod found in South America. It inhabits shallow pools, including the highest body of water ever to have yielded a crustacean, at an altitude of 5,930 m (19,460 ft) in the Andes. It was described independently by two scientists in 1955, using material brought back by different European expeditions to the same region.
