International audience A complete revision of the Haploops Liljeborg, 1856 (Ampeliscidae) species is in course with important collections coming from the North Atlantic mainly during the BIOICE and BIOFAR programmes. Till today, Haploops accounted 23 species; several species remained to describe. We propose a review of the available data on this genus including taxonomy, biogeography, ecology and biology and some ways of research in the future on this genus.
