Suarez-Morales & Iliffe (1996, p.760) create a new superfamily. Fosshagen & Iliffe, 2004 (p.353) deem that the genus Temoropia should be included in this family belonging to the superfamily of the Diaptomoidea. 2 G: Fosshagenia, Temoropia. Vives & Shmeleva, 2007 (p.521, 528) maintain the genus Temoropia in the family of the Temoridae.

Temoropia mayumbaensis. 2’ – Rostrum strong in both sexes ; genital double-somite of female symmetrical, without process on left side ; more or less equally developed …….. 3. 3 – Female P5 with 2nd segment 2 to 2.5 times longer than wide ; 2nd segment of male right P5 about 3 times longer than wide and lacking ornamentation of spinules on anterior surface of segment …….. Temoropia minor. 3’ – Female P5 with 2nd segment about 1.5 times longer than wide ; 2nd segment of male right P5 about 2 times longer than wide and ornamented with several rows of fine spinules on anterior surface of segment ……Temoropia setosa.

Nota: Female P5 with separate coxae and intercoxal sclerite; basis distinct, without outer seta. Endopod represented by bifid process, as in Temoropia, or by single spine, as in Fosshagenia. Free exopod unsegmented, armed with strong spine on inner margin; distal margin of exopodal segment bearing 5 spinous processes; - Male P5 asymmetrical; carried on bilobed trnsverse plate formed by fusion of coxae and intercoxal sclerite or on distinct coxae; right leg comprising unarmed basis and 2 or 3-segmented exopod; distal exopodal segment forming long curved subchela in Temoropia. Endopod comprising single segment plus apical digitiform process, or absent. Left leg indistinctly subchelate, with exopod opposing curved digitiform process (possibly representing endopod) on medial margin of basis. Bais distinct, exopod 1 or 2-segmented. - Eggs probably released into water. |

Total: 2 spp. 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). | Remarks on dimensions and sex ratio: | | The mean female size is 0.650 mm (n = 4; SD = 0.0528) and the mean male size is 0.665 mm (n = 4; SD = 0.0443). The size ratio (male : female) is 1.023. The sex ratio (female : male) is 1. | | | (2) Temoropia T. Scott, 1894 | |
