Genera

There are 13 genera included in the Centropagidae,[4] including nearly 150 species.

  • Boeckella De Guerne & Richard, 1889 — 53 species, freshwater [5]
  • Calamoecia Brady, 1906 — 20 species, freshwater [6]
  • Centropages Krøyer, 1849 — 34 species, marine [7]
  • Dussartopages Huys, 2009 — 1 species, marine [8]
  • Gippslandia Bayly & Arnott, 1969 — 1 species, marine [9]
  • Gladioferens Henry, 1919 — marine  [10]
  • Guernella Giesbrecht in G & Schmeil, 1898 — 1 species, marine [11]
  • Hemiboeckella G. O. Sars, 1912 — 3 species, freshwater [12]
  • Isias Boeck, 1865 — 5 species, marine [13]
  • Limnocalanus G. O. Sars, 1863 — marine / brackish /freshwater [14]
  • Neoboeckella Bayly, 1992 — 2 species, marine [15]
  • Osphranticum Forbes, 1882 — 2 species, marine [16]
  • Sinocalanus Burckhardt, 1913 — marine / brackish water [17]

A fourteenth genus, Karukinka, was erected in 2002,[18] but is apparently an offshoot of Boeckella poppei.[19]
