A new species of scavenger Cladocera Pseudochydorus Fryer, 1968 (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Chydoridae) from the Central Mexican Plateau
2021
A new species of the genus Pseudochydorus Fryer, 1968 is described from Central Mexico. P. margaritalfonsorum sp. nov. differs from the Old World species of the genus, P. globosus (Baird, 1843) and P. bopingi Sinev, Garibian & Gu, 2016 in the morphology of thoracic limbs I–III. Analysis of existing literature data on distribution and morphology of Pseudochydorus in America suggest than P. margaritalfonsorum sp. nov. is an endemic of Central Mexican Plateau, and at least two more species of the genus are present in other regions of America.
