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]

The genus Aglaodiaptomus contains 15 species.^[3]
