Family Moinidae Goulden, 1968 View in CoL View at ENA

33. Moina belli Gurney, 1904 *, recorded by Dumont (1979) in Tassili n’Ajjer. This species was described from the Republic of South Africa ( Gurney 1904) and then found in other regions, even in Central Asia ( Smirnov 1976). This is a valid taxon, but its distribution range needs to be adequately studied.

34. Moina brachiata (Jurine, 1820) , recorded by Gauthier (1928a) in a number of sites, it is also found during the present study (sites 1, 4, 9, 14, 20, 32, 48, 56, 64, 72, 87, 108, 110). It is a Palearctic taxon which has also been reported from subsaharian Africa ( Goulden 1968). This taxon definitively includes some species with unknown distribution ranges ( Nédli et al. 2014; Bekker et al. 2016).

35. Moina dubia Guerne & Richard, 1892 , recorded by Gauthier (1929, 1931). This is an Afrotropical and Palearctic species ( Kotov & Ferrari 2010; Kotov et al. 2013a) belonging to the M. micrura species group (see below).

36. Moina lateralis Brehm, 1958 described by Brehm (1958) from Tassili in Algeria. This is probably a junior synonym of M. belli ( Smirnov 1976) .

37. Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) *, recorded by Blanchard (1891) and Dumont (1979). Its distribution is restricted to Europe, Africa, and Southern Asia ( Smirnov 1976). Most Palearctic populations belong to the nominal subspecies M. macrocopa macrocopa , which is confirmed by genetic methods (Bekker et al. 2016), however, the African populations have not been studied to date.

38. Moina micrura Kurz, 1874 , recorded by Dumont (1979), Samraoui et al. (1998) and Samraoui (2002). A cosmopolitan species group needed a detailed revision ( Petrusek et al. 2004; Kotov et al. 2013a; Bekker at al. 2016).

39. Moina rectirostris (Strauss, 1820) , recorded by Bidi-Akli et al. (2014) from Zeralda Dam as " M. rectorostris " (sic), but without providing any description. This is a dubious record, see the discussion of the " M. rectirostris - problem" by Goulden (1968).

40. Moina salina Daday, 1888 , recorded by Gauthier (1928a), Beadle (1943) as Moina salinarum, Amarouayache et al. (2012) , De Los Rios-Escalante & Amarouayache (2016), also in this study (sites 89, 92, 95, 96, 105–107). The name M. mongolica Daday, 1901 is still widely used, however, it is a presumable junior synonym of the former species ( Negrea 1984). The salina -group is represented in the Palearctic by at least two species (Bekker et al. 2016), therefore African populations need to be revised.
