DAHMSOPOTTEKINA Özdikmen, 2009 (syn. Talpina Dahms & Pottek, 1992

Recently Özdikmen (2009) proposed that Talpina Dahms & Pottek, 1992 should be replaced with the new name Dahmsopottekina, as a replacement name, suggesting the following changes:

Dahmsopottekina nom. nov. pro Talpina Dahms & Pottek, 1992 (non Hagenow, 1840)

Recently Sevastou et al. (2012) added another new species, Dahmsopottekina guilvardi , from the Western Mediterranean.

    SUPERORNATIREMIDAE Huys, 1996

    Superornatiremidae is a very primitive group of harpacticoids showing the most plesiomorphic status of first legs among copepods. Representatives of this family are remarkable also by the peculiar habitat in which they occur, viz. anchihaline caves along the amphi-Atlantic/Mediterranean (Caribbean, Bermuda, Canary Islands) region, the same habitat of several stygobitic tethyan crustaceans, such as mysids of the genera Palaumysis, Stygiomysis and Spelaeomysis and amphipods of the genera Pseudoniphargus. Recently Corgosinho & Martinez-Arbizu (2005) discovered representatives of the family also outside anchialine caves.

    At present the family includes 4 genera:
