Candonidae is a family of ostracods, containing around 25% of all known species of freshwater ostracods.[1] Around 75% of genera in the family are endemic to a single zoogeographic region.[1] It contains more than 500 species, of which more than 300 are endemic to the Palearctic realm.[1]

Cyclocypridinae are generally good swimmers,[2] but Candoninae is unable to swim.[3]

Paracypridinae lives in marine and brackish waters,[4] although a few can live in freshwater.[5][6]
