Meridiecyclops baylyi Fiers,2001 [Australia; saline lakes] (left) [PDF] syn. Metacyclops arnaudi (G. Sars) Kiefer, 1967*; Microcyclops (Metacyclops) arnaudi (Sars): Bayly & William, 1966 Meridiecyclops platypus Fiers, 2001 [Australia; salt lakes] [PDF] syn. Metacyclops arnaudi platypus Kiefer, 1967 * Fiers (2001) transferred this species to the new genus Meridiecyclops Fiers, 2001 [PDF]; Fiers (2001) and recently Karanovic (2004) and Tang & Knott (2009) reallocated this species to Metacyclops since it "cannot be included in Meridiecyclops given that the male maxilla, as well as the female genital double-somite and basis and proximal endopodal segment of leg 4, are not modified" (Tang & Knott. 2009 [PDF] ).
