| Fosshageniidae Suarez-Morales & Iliffe, 1996 ( Diaptomoidea ) | |
| | | (1) Fosshagenia Suarez-Morales & Iliffe, 1996 | |
| | Rem.: | For Fosshagen & Iliffe (2004, p.353) the appearance of this genus, with a transparent body, long A1, unmodified mouthparts, and not particularly strong outer spines on swimming legs, suggests a planktonic existence in caves. For the time being it seems most relevant to keep this genus as a cave-adapted genus belonging to the superfamily Diaptomoidea. It does not seem unlikely that some ancestral deep-water species closely related to Temoropia have invaded caves quite recently in geological terms and become established in an environment also characterized by darkness and scarcity of food. The close resemblance between Fosshagenia and Temoropia was pointed out by Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.122). |
