Genus Bosminopsis Richard, 1895

The head of Bosminopsis is relatively smaller than Bosmina . The rostrum is fused with antennules that diverge at the distal end. A cervical sinus separates the head from the carapace. Postabdomen is cone-like narrowing to the obtusely rounded tip. Short but robust postabdominal claws are distinguishable on the tip of the postabdomen.
