Abstract

An inventory of cyclopoid and harpacticoid copepods has been prepared in the form of a catalogue for the first time from India dealing with 181 species and subspecies under 38 genera and 9 families of Cyclopoida and 403 species and subspecies belonging to 163 genera and 35 families of Harpacticoida. Among these, in Cyclopoida, 24 are marine and 143 freshwater forms, remaining 40 species occur in estuarine and diversified water conditions; while in Harpacticoida, 311 are marine and only 68 are freshwater forms, rest 56 occur in brackish and estuarine habitats. In Cyclopoida, maximum number of species have been noted in Tamil Nadu (47) followed by Andhra Pradesh (39) while in Harpacticoida, the highest number has been recorded in Andaman and Nicobar Islands (203 species) which is followed by Tamil Nadu (142 species). The distribution of these copepod species in India are also incorporated in this catalogue.
