Abstract
The catalogue of cyclopoid copepods collected by A. Damian-Georgescu in Romania and deposited in “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History is presented. It includes 39 species and subspecies belonging to family Cyclopidae (Crustacea: Copepoda). Type material of Eucyclops graeteri intermedius Damian, 1955 is designated. For each species the following information is presented: collecting sites, data on general distribution in Romania and worldwide, and types of inhabited biotopes. Species names are listed in systematical order with indication of current taxonomic status.
Highlights
Cyclopidae is one of the largest crustacean families, including over 1010 species and subspecies (Papa and Hołyńska 2013)

Summary
Cyclopidae is one of the largest crustacean families, including over 1010 species and subspecies (Papa and Hołyńska 2013). It’s a widespread group of copepods which invade a variety of aquatic environments and microhabitats. Cyclopoids are generally associated with substrates and are common in littoral and benthic habi-. Some species are planktonic and may contribute substantially to zooplankton biomass (Reid and Williamson 2009). Cyclopoid copepods are very common in groundwater environment (Monchenko 2003, Kováč et al 2014)
