Epischura is a genus of copepods in the family Temoridae, containing the following species:[1]
- Herrick, 1883
- Epischura lacustris S. A. Forbes, 1882
- Epischura massachusettsensis Pearse, 1906
- Lilljeborg, 1889
- Lilljeborg, 1889
- Borutsky, 1961
- Borutsky, 1947
- Pickering, 1844
The species Epischurella baikalensis (G. O. Sars, 1900) and (Rylov, 1928) were previously included in this genus, until a 2019 study found that siberian lineages formed a different genus named , that split from Epischura about 40 million years ago.[2]
