agree  Rachel Fell: www.fieldmuseum.org/research_collections/zoology/zoo_sites/barnacle/pdfs/J_V1996.pdf\\on further reading , it's cyprids - they seem to live on/among barnacles in the 1st link- www.gpmatthews.nildram.co.uk/microscopes/pondlife_ostracoda...

  -> not sure what your comment means - but this ref is about barnacles and Cirripedia - I think a different order? REPLY: I get your point now, however, Cypridae is the scientific name, & Cyprids would be common parlance - but they are both the same thing!!
