| Abstract |
Laevicaudata has a nearly global distribution, but only a few records from China. We present a new
Lynceus (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Laevicaudata) species, Lynceus amplopedia sp. nov., from
Yunnan, China, which shows signifcant left-right differences in some non-clasper thoracopods. It can
be distinguished from all congeners by asymmetrically modifed thoracopods III–VI. In the ‘explanate
modifed’ side (usually the left side, occasionally the right) the following modifcations are present: endites
4, 5, and endopod enlarged (explanate) (thoracopods III and IV); exopod with 14–15 digitiform processes
dorsomedially (thoracopods V and VI); and broad muscular basis (thoracopods III–V). The following
modifcations are seen in the thoracopods of the opposing ‘spinose modifed’ side (usually the right side,
occasionally the left): endite 4 with robust, specialized spines medially (thoracopods V and VI); endite 3
elongate protruding (thoracopod VI), and broad muscular basis (thoracopod V). Other unique characters of
the new species include: male and female rostrum sinuate, compound eyes protruding, male claspers with
endopod constricted, and endite 3 with two scale patches. We suggest the modifed thoracopods may be
involved in mating and/or respiration. The diversity of Chinese Lynceus is also discussed |
