Calamoecia

Calamoecia is a genus of copepods in the family Centropagidae confined to Australasia.[1] It is thought to have evolved since the separation of the Australian continent from Antarctica.[2] Three of the Australian endemic species are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List (marked VU in the list below). The genus contains the following species:[3]

  • Calamoecia ampulla (Searle, 1911)
  • Calamoecia attenuata (Fairbridge, 1945)
  • Calamoecia australica G. O. Sars, 1908 [4]
  • Calamoecia australis (Searle, 1911)
  • Calamoecia baylyi Timms, 2001
  • Calamoecia canberra Bayly, 1962
  • Calamoecia clitellata Bayly, 1962
  • Calamoecia elongata Bayly, 1979 [5]
  • Calamoecia gibbosa (Brehm, 1950)
  • Calamoecia halsei Bayly, 1998
  • Calamoecia longicornis (Sars G.O., 1912)
  • Calamoecia lucasi Brady, 1906
  • Calamoecia salina (Nicholls, 1944)
  • Calamoecia steeli (Henry, 1924)
  • Calamoecia tasmanica (G. W. Smith, 1909)
  • Calamoecia trifida Bayly, 1961
  • Calamoecia trilobata Halse & McRae, 2001
  • Calamoecia ultima (Brehm, 1960)
  • Calamoecia viridis (Searle, 1911)
  • Calamoecia zeidleri Bayly, 1984 [6]
