List species and varieties by family
Phaennidae Sars, 1902 ( Clausocalanoidea )
(1) Brachycalanus Farran, 1905
Rem.: type: Xanthocalanus atlanticus (Wolfenden,1904). Total: 7 spp. (1 doubtful) + 1 undet.

Redefinition after Campaner (1978 a, p.976), and [Bradford & al., 1983, p.60] (Female) :
- Body robust and oval dorsally.
- Cephalosome and thoracic segment 1 separated, thoracic segments 4 and 5 complete or incompletely separated or totally fused.
- Rostrum short with 2 filaments.
- Abdomen 4-segmented, densely covered with scale-like spines (anal segment extremely reduced).
- A1 short, 24-segmented [with large aesthetascs].
- Exopod of A2 little greater than endopd.
Inner lobe 1 [2] and 3 of Mx1 with respectively 2 and 4 setae.
- Endopod of Mx2 with 1 vermiform [worm-like] seta and ( ?5) 7-8 brush-like setae [7 sensory filaments].
- The dorsal and dorsal surfaces of basis 1-2, and especially of exopod and endopod, from P1-P5 densely covered with scale-like spines.
- P5 with 3 segments, last one with 2 lateral and 2 terminal aculeate spines.

Type-species :

Campaner (1978 a, p.976) disagrees with Grice (1972), who placed B. minutus in this genus based mostly on the absence of rostral filaments.
Xanthocalanus ordinarius Grice (1972) is doubtless a new species of Brachycalanus.
Since B. gigas A. Scott, 1909, was definitely removed to the genus Lophothrix, the genus hitherto includes 3 species : B. atlanticus (Wolfenden, 1904), B. ordinarius (Grice, 1972), B. bjornbergae Campaner, 1978.
B. minutus Grice, 1972, is a species incertae sedis.

(2) Cephalophanes Sars, 1907
Rem.: Type: Cephalophanes refulgens Sars, 1907. Total: 3 spp.

Diagnosis after Park (1983 a, p.319) , and Bradford, Haakonssen & Jillett (1983, p.60) :
Female:
- Head and pedigerous segment and pedigerous segments 4 and 5 fully separate.
- Rostrum of 2 slender filaments.
- Forehead with a pair of large eyes, each occupying almost entirely half of forehead. A1 25-segmented.
- Exopod of A2 much longer than endopod.
- Mx2 terminated by 6 or 7 slender brush-like appendages and perhaps 1 worm-like appendage. Two of 4 setae on 5th basipodal lobe (= endite) of Mx2 large and spiniform, but not conspicuously larger than large setae of other basipodal lobes.
- Endopods of P2 to P4 armed posteriorly with relatively long spinules.
- P5 uniramous, 3-segmented, armed with spinules and spines (sometimes very fragile and likely broken off).
Male:
- P5 4-segmented on each side; right leg much shorter than left.

After Sars (1925, p.155), the bright device in C. refulgens) consists of two symmetric half , of prismatic shape, filling almost completely the frontal part of the head, and arranged so as to be contiguous to down, whereas their superior sharp edges are moved away enough one of the other one. Inside of every organ there is a dense bundle of radiant fibers wrapped with a pale pigment, doubtless the generators of the light, which is reflected by the external plane surface of organs provided of a chandelier very bright and pearly . This chandelier however faints after dipping of specimens in the alcohol, better kept in the formalin.

(3) Cornucalanus Wolfenden, 1905
Rem.: 6 spp. + 1 unident.

Diagnosis after Bradford & al. (1983, p.61) :
- Head and pedigerous segment 1 usually separate, 4th and 5th thoracic segments fused or separate.
- Head with or without spine.
- A1 34-25-segmented in female, fewer segments in male.
- Mx2 with strong claw-like spine on lobe 5 as in Onchocalanus
- Mxp endopod segments 2 and 3 each with a strong spine.
- P5 uniramous, symmetrical in female; asymmetrical in male.

Diagnosis after Park (1983 a, p.351) :
Female :
- Head and 1st pedigerous segment separate, 4th and 5th thoracic segments partially fused.
- Rostral plate strong, divided distally into 2 large rami, each ramus often folloiwed by a delicate filaments.
- A2 exopod slightly longer than endopod.
- One of 3 setae on 4th basipodal lobe of Mx2 enlarged into a sttrong spine; 5th basipodal lobe with a greatly enlarged spiniform seta, strongly curved resembling a sickle, and a small seta in the form of a simple crankshaft.
- 2nd and 3rd endopodal segments of Mxp each with a large, claw-shaped seta.
- Basis of P1 with a well-developed inner seta.
- In P2 to P4, whole posterior surfaces of both rami armed with spinules.
- P5 uniramous, 3-segmented. Last 1 or 2 segments armed with patches of spinules.

Male:
- Habitus similar to female.
- Urosome 5-segmented.
- A1 12th and twenty-first segments fused on right side but separate on left.
- A2 and P1 to P4 similar those of female;
- Md, Mx1 and Mx2 similar in setation to those of female, but more or less reduced in their development.
- None of endopodal setae of Mxp enlarged into claws.
- Left P5 long, 5-segmented. Right leg very short, 3- to 5-segmented.

For Park (1983 a, p.352) the females of the genus are very characteristic: a strong, sickle-shaped spine and a small, crankshaft-shaped seta on the 5th Mx2 lobe and 2 of the endopodal setae of Mxp greatly enlarged into claws.
The males are very similar to those of Onchocalanus but can be distinguished from them by the shape of the strong, spiniform setae on the 4th and 5th Mx2 lobes and the presence of an inner seta on the basis of P1.

(4) Kirnesius Markhaseva & Semenova, 2005
Rem.: Type: Kirnesius groenlandicus Markhaseva & Semenova, 2005. Total; 1 sp.
For Markhaseva & Schulz (2009, p.22) the family placement in Phaennidae is only provisionally due to the presence of rudimentary oral parts and the uniramous P5. Segmentation and setation of swimming legs and the structure of A1 of the species-type are typical of the superfamily CVlausocalanoidea. The presence of A1 brush-like aesthetascs is unique in the order Calanoida, and is an apomorphiy that separates the new genus from all other described clausocalanoideans.

Diagnosis from Markhaseva & Semenova (2005, p.40) :
Male:
- Cephalosome anf 1st pedigerous somite separated, 4th and 5th incompletely separated.
- Rostrum large, thick, oval-rectangular and lacking filaments.
- A1 non-geniculate on both sides. Brush-like aesthetascs present in proximal part of A1 on articulated segments 2 and 5 (ancestral segments II-IV and VII respectively). A1 slightly asymmetrical, 23-segmented on right, 22 segmented on left side, due to fusion of segments 18 and 19 (ancestral segments XXII-XXIII).
- Mouthparts moderately reduced.
- Mx2 with 8 sensory setae on exopod, praecoxal endite with 5 setae.
- Syncoxa of Mxp with 4 setae on praecoxal lobes: 1 scletotized seta on proximal lobe, 1 sensory worm-like plus 1 sclerotized on medial lobe and 1 sclerotized on distal lobe.
- P1 endopod 1-segmented.
- P2 endopod 2-segmented.
- P3 - P4 endopods 3-segmented.
- P1 - P2 exopods 3-segmented, P3 - P4 endopods broken.
- P1 exopodal segment 3 with 3 medial setae.
- P2 exopodal segment 3 with 4 medial setae.
- P2 - P4 endopods and coxopods poorly spinulated.
- P5 uniramous, 5-segmented on both sides, of simple stucture.
Female unknown.

Diagnosis after Park (1983 a, p.318) :
Female:
- Cephalosome and 1st pedigerous segment fully separate, 4th and 5th thoracic segments almost completely separate.
- Rostrum of 2 strong spiniform rami.

[4] Phaenna zetlandica  T. Scott, 1902   (M)    [Figs]
Rem.: Species doubtful in the genus.
T. Scott (1902, p.453) finds this form in the same gathering as Xanthocalanus and agrees in some respects very closely with Phaenna spinifera Claus, and may probably be only a form of that species. For Rose (1933 a) P. zetlandica would be the male of Xanthocalanus, but considered valid by Park (1983 a), contrary to Andronov (2013).
(7) Phaennocalanus Markhaseva, 2002
Rem.: Type: Phaennocalanus unispinosus Markhaseva, 2002. Total: Total: 1 sp.

Diagnosis from Markhaseva (2002, p.312) ;
- Rostrum with 2 thin, long filaments.
- Lobe 2 of Mx1 with 5 setae; exopod with with 10 setae.
- Mx2 lobe 1 with 5 setae; inner lobes 4-5 with one of setae spine-like; terminal part complrises distal basal lobe plus exopod with 1 worm-like and 7 brush-like densory setaze, the latter are: 2 thick brushes plus 5 thin brushes.
- Mxp syncoxa with 5 praecoxal setae in total, all are sclerotized.
- P5 3-segmented lacking surface spinulation, with 1 terminal spine.

For Markhaseva (2002, p.316) the genus differs from other phaennid genera by the combination of derived characters: 1- A1 8th, 13th and 18th segments with knife-like aesthetascs; 2- Mx2 brush-like setae are of nearly the same length, but not identical in structure (there are 2 thick brushes and 5 brushes are thin with small heads; 3- P1 exopodite 1 and 2 with lateral spines narrow abruptly at its proximal 1/3 length; 4- P5 3-segmented with 1 terminal spine, segments lacking surface spinulation.
Plesiomorphic character states separating the new genus from the other phaennids by the combination: 1- Mx1 inner lobe 2 with 5 setae; 2- Mxp syncoxa with 2 sclerotized setae on the distal praecoxal lobe (this is the 3rd group of setae on syncoxa from proximal to distal).
The knife-like aesthetascs of Phaennocalanus are similar to those of Brachycalanus. Aesthetascs of such shape were proposed as a synapomorphy for species of Brachycalanus (Ferrari & Markhaseva, 2000). This is no longer the case and the onky shared derived character state for species of Brachicalanus is epicuticularextension of female genital segment and following two urosomal somites.

(8) Talacalanus Wolfenden, 1911
Rem.: type: Xanthocalanus greeni Farran,1905.
Genus maintained (Campaner, 1978 a; Bradford & al., 1983) or not according to the authors: Sars, 1925, p.134; Park, 1983 a et Tanaka & Omori, 1992 (p.268), very close to Xanthocalanus, but is distinguished from it mainly by the broad razor-like setae on praecoxal arthrite (inner lobe 1) of Mx1 and the endopod of Mxp

Redefinition after Campaner (1978, p.976) , and [Bradford & al; (1983, p.70)]:
- Body lengthened (about 6.0 mm or greater).
- Cephalosome and thoracic segment 1 separated, thoracic segments 4 and 5 fused.
- Anal segment strongly reduced.
- A1 with 24 segments (with few and short setae), reaching about the body length.
- Endopod and exopod of Md palp with nearly the same length, Basis 1+2 broad, with 3 setae.
- Inner lobe of Mx1 very developed, with razor-like type setae in female and fleshy-type (flagellum-shaped from the middle to the tip) setae in male, inner lobe 3 with 3 setae.
- Endopod of female Mx2 usually with [1] 2 vermiform setae +[7] 6 brush-like setae (1 short and broad) ; endopod of male with brush-like setae forming a bud-like structure, and with ( ?) some vermiform setae.
- Endopod of Mxp with razor-like type setae.
- Endopod of P2-P4 with 1 or 2 groups of scale-like spines.
- Female P5 with 3 segments, 3rd segment relatively short with 1 terminal plus 1 or 2 subterminal spines ; male P5 very asymmetrical in length, both with rudimentary endopod.

The genus Talacalanus differs from the genus Xanthocalanus mostly by :
The setation on Mx1 and endopod setation of Mxp, the relatively great body length.
Talacalanus specimen, an aspect which does not correspond to that figured by Wolfenden (1911, pl.31, fig.11).

Type-species : Xanthocalanus greeni Farran, 1905.
Other species :

Species definitely in this group : X. borealis Sars, 1900 ( = X. hirtipes van Höffen, 1897) non X. borealis Sars, 1903 (see Sars, 1921, pp.2-4 ; Sars, 1924, pl.35) ; X. medius Tanaka, 1937 ; X. penicillatus Tanaka, 1960 ; X. legatus Tanaka, 1960, X. marlyae Campaner, 1978.
Species probably in this group : X. fragilis Aurivillius, 1898 ; X. amabilis Tanaka, 1960 ; X. muticus Sars, 1905.

Total: 50 spp. (of which 1 doubtful) + 4 unident.

Diagnosis from Bradford, Haakonssen & Jillett (1983, p.70), after Bradford, 1973 :
- Rostrum usually with 2 filaments.
- Head and pedigerous segment 1 more or less separate, 4th and 5th fused or separate.
- A1 of 23-25 segments in female, fewer in male.
Mx1 inner lobe1 with 4 posterior surface setae; none of setae on inner lobe 1 modified.
- Mx2 with lobes 4 and 5 each with one of setae stout and spine-like; endopod with brush-like sensory filaments all different in size and shape, 1 usually much shorter and thicker than rest.
- Endopod of Mxp without modified setae.
- Male mouthparts with varying degrees of degeneration.
- Mx2 endopod similar to that of female or with largest brush-like sensory filament so enlarged as to almost obscure remaining filaments.
- Female P5 symmetrical, uniramous, 2- or 3-segmented and covered with spinules.
- Male P5 styliform, usually present on both sides; usually uniramous; rudimentary endopods sometimes present.

Remarks: Bradford (1973) restricted to the Phaennidae those copepods having 1 worm-like and 7 brush-like sensory filaments on the terminal part of Mx2.
Among those species placed in Xanthocalanus existing descriptions of Mx2 differ. It still remains unclear whether of not all Xanthocalanus have 1 worm-like and 7 brush-like sensory filaments.
Not all of the species to set in the genus Xanthocalanus are described well enough to either verify or reject their assignment in this genus. The following do, differ significantly from the generic definition: X. alvinae, X. difficilis, X. distinctus, X, elongatus.
Campaner (1978) suggests that X. echinatus, X. incertus, X. dilatus, X. polaris, X. pulcher, X. tenuiremis, X. giesbrechti should also be removed from Xanthocalanus. Campaner (1978) suggests that some species possibly could be assigned to Cephalophanes if the presence of frontal lenses is not considered to be diagnostic..
For Bradfird & al. (1983, p.71) several species formerly included in Xanthocalanus have been tentatively assigned to the Tharybidae: ''X''. hispidus (= ? ''X". paululus); ''X"". macrocephalon, ''X''. paraincertus.
Four other species have now been removed to other genera by Campaner (1978): X. greeni, X. maximus to Talacalanus; X. watersae to Neoscolecithrix; and X. ordinarius to Brachycalanus.
