CYCLOPINIDAE s. str. Sars, 1913
CYCLOPINA Claus, 1863
Type-species: Cyclopina gracilis Claus, 1863
Cyclopina is
characterized by the presence of 12 to 10-segmented female antennule, whose 6th
segment is typically the longest. This compound segment is homologous to the
segments XV-XX of an hypothetical 28-segmented copepod antennule. This cluster
originates through lack of division during copepodite development resulting
in this truncated pattern (Grainger & Mohammed 1991). A second apomorphic
character of Cyclopina is the presence of only three elements in the female P5, i. e.
a terminal seta flanked by two spines. In addition, the outermost seta on the 4th
mandibular exopodal segment displays a characteristic tuft of spinules terminally,
and the caudal rami do not possess seta I. A trend towards a reduction of segments
and armature of appendages can be recognized in the genus (from: Gomez & Martinez Arbizu, 2004)
