Bruno, M. C., et al. (2005): Karanovic (2000) proposed a new genus Reidcyclops to include Diacyclops dimorphus and two species from Macedonia and the Caucasus. Reidcyclops was defined partly on the structure of leg 5. In the Florida species, this leg is typically diacyclopine, i.e., with a slender but definitely spiniform inner subterminal spine next to the outer terminal seta, rather than the two slender terminal setae borne by the European species. The structure of the swimming legs is also different in D. dimorphus, with fewer reductions in setae. The exopodites ofboth P3 and P4 are 3-segmented in males of the European forms; whereas in the Florida species only the P4 exopodite retains the 3-segmented structure. Therefore, we prefer to retain the taxon dimorphus in the genus Diacyclops.
