Abstract

Twenty species of freeliving Cyclopoida occurring in freshwaters of Peninsula Malaysia were recorded. Twelve species are new records. Illustrated descriptions of these species are given. A list of Malaysian Calanoida is given. Cosmopolitanism is discussed with reference to Mesocyclops, Macrocyclops, and Thermocyclops.
