Moinidae is a crustacean family within the order Cladocera. ^[1] Species within this family are widely occurring, including North America and Africa. ^[2] In newer classifications, it is sometimes included in the family Daphniidae. ^[3] Some Moinidae have accidentally been introduced by humans to areas outside of their native range. ^[4] Genetics study ^[5] strongly supports division of Moina into two faunistic groups: European-Western Siberian and Eastern Siberian-Far Eastern, with a transitional zone at the Yenisey River basin (Eastern Siberia).

Genera
