چکیده
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 diagnosis for all species is provided. The morphology of O. nuragica (Margaritora, 1971) is studied for the first time. The position of Ovalona within subfamily Aloninae and the distribution of the genus are discussed.

متن کاملThe Use of Members of the Family Chydoridae (anomopoda, Branchiopoda) as an Indicator of Lake Ecological Quality in Ireland
We sampled chydorids (Branchiopoda, Anomopoda) from 29 Irish lakes between June 1996 and July 1997 in order to assess the usefulness of this group as an indicator of lake ecological quality, as required by the recently published EU Water Framework Directive. The lakes represented a wide range of the physicochemical conditions found in Irish lakes. We identified 31 species of Chydoridae from the...
