Abstract
A detailed morphology description was provided in the “Copepod evolution” by Huys and Boxshall (1991) and the “Introductory to the Copepoda” by Dussart and Defaye (2001). The morphology and comparison of six naupliar stages for several diaptomid species, along with a description of useful taxonomic characters, were provided by Jersabek et al. (1996). In Figs. 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8, and 14.9 we present morphological details and terminology with abbreviations used in this key.
