Hemiboeckella powellensis, is a zooplankton copepod in which only four of its kind have ever been observed. “Hemiboeckella" refers to this genus being a subvariant of Boeckella,[3] whilst “powellensis” refers to Lake Powell in Western Australia, the region it is endemic to. Its existence was initially recorded in June and May of 1977, and has not been observed since.[4]
