Abstract
⺠We compared morphological and genetic data within the copepod taxon Occidodiaptomus. ⺠A noteworthy decoupling between morphological and molecular diversity is demonstrated. ⺠The actual diversity of the genus is overlooked due to its morphological bradytely. ⺠A phylogeny of the subgenus and its phylogeography are presented. ⺠The role of morphological vs. molecular evolutionary rates in copepods is discussed.
