Aglaodiaptomus is a genus of copepods in the family Diaptomidae. They are often bright red or blue due to carotenoid pigments.[1]

Conservation status

Species distributions are known very imprecisely, and two species are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List (marked VU below); both are endemic to the United States. A. kingsburyae was described from "a roadside ditch in Oklahoma and a pool and a pond in Texas", while A. marshianus was described from Lake Jackson, Florida.[2]
