Acrochordonoposthia
Acrochordonoposthia sp. Locality. Temporary pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya, Lower Galilee. Acrochordonoposthia sp. was collected in medium-sized temporary pools in Israel during the winter (January 2002), and disappeared with the beginning of spring and the seasonal rise in temperature.
