20. Moinodaphnia mocquerysi Richard, 1892 View in CoL

Moinodaphnia Mocquerysi Richard 1892b, p. 222 View in CoL –226, figs 7–8.

Type locality. No specific locality reported. All samples of Richard (1892b) were taken "sur le territoire de Mayoumba (Congo français)", now Gabon .

Richard's specimens. Females from samples DGF 851 and DGF 854 from “Fr. Eq. Africa” (no further information).

Samples DGF 708 and DGF 883 from “Mayoumba. Congo, Fr. Eq. Africa” are not present in DGF; these samples contained Moinodaphnia sp. according to identifications on this Frey’s card.

Comments. Goulden (1968) regarded M. mocquerysi as a junior synonym of M. macleayi (King, 1853) described from Australia. If specimens of M. macleayi cannot be reconciled with those of M. mocquerysi , the latter name should restricted to populations from Gabon.
