(2) Candona maloemorensis nom. nov.

Candona intermedia Bronstein, 1947 , described from Lake Baikal and only known from there, is a junior homonym of Candona intermedia Furtos, 1933 , known from North America. The Baikal species is here renamed as Candona maloemorensis nom. nov., the specific name being derived from the Maloe More (Малое Море in Russian, in English literally the Small Sea), a strait in Lake Baikal where part of the type material was collected and which is of high relevance for the speciation of many Baikalian organisms.
