EUCYCLOPINAE Kiefer, 1927 The subfamily Eucyclopinae presently includes 10/11 genera and about 185 species and subspecies, including the genus Austriocyclops, formerly included in the subfamily Cyclopinae, and recently moved to Eucyclopinae by Pospisil & Stoch (1977).

Reid (in litt.) confirmed that remarkable differences separate the nominate genera, which should be considered distinct taxa.
