Family Moinidae

Moinodaphnia macleayi (King, 1853) . One of the common species, found in all types of localities except swamps. Littoral species, associated with muddy bottom and vegetation, attach itself to the substrate like Simocephalus . For description see Goulden (1968). The species was described from Australia, and presumed to be pantropical (Goulden 1968), populations from South-East Asia are probably conspecific with Australian ones.
