The status of some species of Thermocyclops found in the Oriental Region is assessed after a study of extensive material: Thermocyclops crassus, T. decipiens, T. analogus, T. rylovi, T. wolterecki, T. operculifer, and T. trichophorus are considered valid. Thermocyclops hyalinus, T. vermifer, T. microspinulosus, and T. brevifurcatus are considered synonyms of other species. In addition, 10 other species and subspecies have been designated from the Oriental Region. These will require further study for clarification of their status.
