Cyclopoida
Cyclops sp.
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Crustacea
Class: Maxillopoda
Subclass: Copepoda
Order: Cyclopoida

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.[1]

Cyclopoids are distinguished from other copepods by having first antennae shorter than the length of the head and thorax, and uniramous second antennae. The main joint lies between the fourth and fifth segments of the body.[2]

The Cyclopoida contain 30 families:[3]

  • Cyclopoida incertae sedis - 8 genera

Suborder Poecilostomatoida contains families Corallovexiidae and Paralubbockiidae. The order Poecilostomatoida was recognised as junior synonym of the order Cyclopoida by Khodami et al.(2017). All of its families were placed in a "poecilostome lineage" within the Cyclopoida. The name Poecilostomatoida is retained here as a temporary name for the lineage containing all the poecilostome families.[4]
