Calamoecia is a genus of copepods in the family Centropagidae confined to Australasia.[1] It is thought to have evolved since the separation of the Australian continent from Antarctica.[2] Three of the Australian endemic species are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List (marked VU in the list below). The genus contains the following species:[3]
