Four cyclopoid copepods of Eucyclopinae, Macrocyclops albidus, Eucyclops cf. serrulatus, E. cf. speratus and Tropocyclops prasinus, are described from small ponds in Kyushu. Special attention was paid to spinules on the appendages. Macrocyclops albidus and E. cf. serrulatus have some differences in those spinules from European forms described in previous studies. The Japanese E. serrulatus-speratus group probably consists of more than two species. Tropocyclops prasinus is identical to the description by Gurney (1933) in micro-characters but differs in setal lengths of the legs.
