Known previous records. There are no worldwide previous records on families Cambaridae and Pseudothelphusidae . For other crustaceans T. cyclopum has been recorded on Bathynella sp., Niphargus sp., Gammarus sp., Diacyclops bicuspidatus (Claus, 1857) (cited as Cyclops bicuspidatus ), Cyclops sp., Diaptomus sp., Epischura sp. and on Eucyclops agilis agilis (Koch, 1838) (cited as Eucyclops agilis ) ( Curds 1985b ; Matthes & Guhl 1988 ; Fernandez- Leborans & Tato-Porto 2000). Dovgal (2013) reported T. cyclopum on Eucyclops serrulatus serrulatus (Fischer, 1851) (cited as Eucyclops serrulatus ), Cyclops insignis Claus, 1857 , C. vicinus vicinus Uljanin, 1875 (cited as Cyclops vicinus ), C. strenuus strenuus Fischer, 1851 (cited as Cyclops strenuus ), Megacyclops gigas (Claus, 1857) (cited as Acanthocyclops gigas ), Acanthocyclops vernalis vernalis (Fischer, 1853) (cited as Acanthocyclops vernalis ), A. americanus (Marsh, 1893) , Megacyclops viridis viridis (Jurine, 1820) (cited as Acanthocyclops viridis ), Macrocyclops fuscus (Jurine, 1820) , Mesocyclops leuckarti leuckarti (Claus, 1857) (cited as Mesocyclops leuckarti ) and on Diacyclops bicuspidatus bicuspidatus (Claus, 1857) .
