Forty-three species of Cladocera are listed, bringing to 71 the number of species known in Quebec. Sixteen are described for the first time in this region; 2 of them, known in North America, are new ones for Canada (Alona circumfimbriataMegard and A. rustica americanaFlössner and Frey). Also given are some ecological, biological, and systematic details concerning the most important species. |
