Abstract Until recently, the cyclopoid fauna of the arid and semi-arid regions of Israel was poorly known. The present paper reveals a relatively diversified fauna from this area. Twelve species are recorded, including some cosmopolitans, some Palaearctic species and two of African origin.Mesocyclops kieferi Van de Velde, 1984 andThermocyclops oblongatus (Sars, 1927) are new records for Israel. The taxonomic, ecological and biogeographical features of each species are discussed.
