Lo. Sanoamuang et al., Streptocephalus sirindhornae, new species of freshwater fairy shrimp (Anostraca) from Thailand, J CRUS BIOL, 20(3), 2000, pp. 559-565
Streptocephalus sirindhornae, new species, the first freshwater anostracan
from Thailand, is wide-spread in the northeast of the country. It is morpho
logically closest to the Indian species S. dichotomus, but a sequence analy
sis of its SSU rDNA gene reveals that its closest relative is in fact the I
ndian species-pair S. dichotomus-S. simplex, that it is probably a conserve
d member of the S. dichotomus-group, and that it shares some relationship w
ith the S. torvicornis-group.
