Cyclopina unisetosa is a species of copepod belonging to the order Cyclopoida, in the family, Cyclopinidae.[1] The species was first described in 2008 by zoologist, Tomislav Karanovic.[1][2]
The species is endemic to Australia, and is known only from its type locality within the Central Western Shelf Transition region (an IMCRA region) in Western Australia.[3][2] It differs from other Australian Cyclopina species by its females having a short copulatory duct, and a 10-segmented antennula.[4]
