Moina hemanti sp. nov., a new species of the genus Moina s.l. (Branchiopoda: Anomopoda) from Pune, India.

A new and a rare species of Chydorus Leach, 1816 (Branchiopoda: Cladocera: Anomopoda) from Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam.

The present study of cladocera of the genus Chydorus from South Vietnam revealed a new species, C. idrisi sp. nov. and a rare species, C. breviceps (Stingelin, 1905). C. idrisi sp. nov. belongs to the C. eurynotus Sars, 1901 group, characterized by small labral plate with rounded tip and by absence of honeycomb sculpture on the valves. C. idrisi sp. nov. differs from other species of the group ...

Revision of the pulchella-group of Alona s. lato leads to its translocation to Ovalona Van Damme et Dumont, 2008 (Branchiopoda: Anomopoda: Chydoridae).

The pulchella-group of Alona s.l. (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Chydoridae) is transferred to Ovalona Van Damme et Dumont, 2008, and an emended diagnosis is provided. Ovalona meridionalis (Sinev, 2006) is removed from Ovalona due to differences in thoracic limb morphology. At the moment, Ovalona consists of 17 species, and is the largest natural genus of Aloninae. A key for the world fauna and diagnos...

DNA Barcoding Reveals High Cryptic Diversity in the North Eurasian Moina Species (Crustacea: Cladocera)

Species of the genus Moina Baird (Cladocera: Moinidae) often dominate freshwater crustacean communities in temporary water bodies. Several species of Moina are used as food for fish larvae in aquaculture, as bioindicators in toxicological studies, and as common subjects for physiological studies. The aim of this paper is to estimate biodiversity of Moina in northern Eurasia using the standard D...

Hypocaccus (s.l.) hirsutus sp. nov., an atypical new species of the genus Hypocaccus C. Thomson, 1867 from India (Coleoptera: Histeridae: Saprininae).

An atypical new species of Hypocaccus C. Thomson, H. hirsutus sp. nov. from south India is described and figured, but left unassigned to a subgenus. Current problems of taxonomy, morphological characters and inter-relationships of Hypocaccus subgenera are discussed and notes on the distribution of Hypocaccus C. Thomson, 1867 in India are given.
