Diaptomus
''Diaptomus'' is a genus of copepods with a single eye spot. It is superficially similar in size and appearance to ''Cyclops''. However it has characteristically very long first antennae that exceed the body length. In addition, the females carry the eggs in a single sac rather than the twin sacs seen in ''Cyclops''. It is a copepod of larger freshwater ponds, lakes and still waters. Species ''Diaptomus'' contains more than 60 species; many species formerly included in ''Diaptomus'' are now in separate genera such as ''Aglaodiaptomus'' and ''Notodiaptomus''. One species, the German endemic ''D. rostripes'', is included on the IUCN Red List as a Data Deficient species. *''Diaptomus affinis'' Ulyanin, 1875 *''Diaptomus africanus'' Daday, 1910 *''Diaptomus alpestris'' (Vogt, 1845) *'' Diaptomus angustaensis'' Turner, 1910 *''Diaptomus armatus'' Herrick, 1882 *''Diaptomus azureus'' Reid, 1985 *''Diaptomus barabinensis'' Stepanova, 2008 *'' Diaptomus bidens'' Brehm, 1924 *'' Diaptom ...
