Popis: SUMMARY Three species of branchiopod (phyllopod) Crustacea were collected from an ephemeral pool in Umfolozi Game Reserve in December 1983 and 1984. There is no published record of the occurrence of Triope granarius (Lucas) and Lynceus truncatus Barnard in Natal. Streptocephalus cafer (Loven) which hatched out in the laboratory from hydrated sediment from the same pool, was recorded once in 1929 from Zululand. Research in South Africa on the Invertebrate fauna of temporary water bodies is a neglected field of study.
