A new possibly parthenogenic species of Lynceus from Canada (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata), with key to the Nearctic female Laevicaudata
A new species of laevicaudatan branchiopod, Lynceus grandirostris, is described. This new species is so far known only from a single locality near Yellowknife, Canada, and is morphologically distinguished from all other known Lynceus species by the elongated form of the female rostrum, which would a...
