Darcythompsoniidae is a family of copepods, containing four genera.[1] Members of the family have a very wide distribution throughout the tropics, where they live in rotting mangrove leaves.[2][3] They lack egg sacs and are thought to lay their eggs directly into the leaf litter.[4]

Darcythompsonia and Kristensenia are both large-bodied, while Leptocaris species are much smaller.[2]
