EPACTERISCIDAE Fosshagen, 1973

"The family Epacteriscidae was established by Fosshagen in 1973 to accommodate a new monotypic genus of calanoid, Epacteriscus Fosshagen, 1973, taken in bottom dredges and coral rubble washings in Florida and Colombia (Fosshagen 1973)" (Boxshall1& Jaume 2003) "The Epacteriscidae is a relatively recently discovered demersal family within the order Calanoida; most species of which have been obtained from flooded coastal caves in warm temperate to tropical shallow waters. Its members are characterized by a bilobed rostrum bearing filaments, up to 27 segments in the female antennules, raptorial mouthparts and by primitive swimming legs with 3-segmented rami" (from: Fosshagen et al., 2001)
