Genus Moinodaphnia Herrick, 1887 View in CoL View at ENA

Moinodaphnia can easily be distinguished from Moina by the presence of an ocellus. The antennules are long and movable. The females are laterally flattened, and the dorsal margin of the shell has a sharp keel. The second antennae are very characteristic because the distal segment of the exopod has four rather short setae rather than three long setae. Postabdomen is long. Only one sexual egg is normally deposited in the ephippium.
