Thermocyclops is a genus of crustacean in family Cyclopidae. It was first described and later extensively researched by Friedrich Kiefer, who discovered some 20 species.[1] The species and subspecies of the genus inhabit fresh and brackish waters alike (rarely ground waters) all around the world, although most are from tropical areas.[1]
