(10) The species of Neocypridopsis Klie, 1940 ,

a genus originally placed in the subfamily Cypridopsinae of Cyprididae , lack the pincer organ on their cleaning legs (L7/T3), a structure that characterises the entire family. Neocypridopsis therefore most probably does not belong there. The phylogenetic position of Neocypridopsis needs to be clarified through detailed morphological and genetical analyses. Meanwhile, the genus is here provisionally kept in Cypridopsinae .
