“…In Brazil, approximately 140 species have already been recorded (Elmoor-Loureiro, 1997;Paggi and Rocha, 1999;Santos-Wisniewski, et al, 2001;Lopes et al, 2006;Sousa et al, 2008;Lansac-Tôha et al, 2009), although a large area of the territory, with various types of biotopes, has not yet been studied.…”

By taking Flavalona gen. nov. out of Alona s.l. (Cladocera: Anomopoda: Chydoridae), the last major clade has now been removed from this polyphyletic assemblage. Flavalona gen. nov. is a monophylum defined by having three, rarely two connected head pores and slit-shaped, rarely rounded lateral head pores. Postabdomen rather long, distally narrowed, with robust marginal denticles and weakly developed lateral fascicles of setules. End-claw weakly curved and with short basal spine. Male postabdomen with gonopores opening at the end of a penis-like outgrowth. Trunk limbs: exopodite of P2 with seta; inner portion of P4 with flaming-torch shaped setae; P5 with filter plate of three setae; P6 a large simple lobe. The relationship of the new genus with other Aloninae remains to be determined. A key to the 11 species of the genus is provided and a discussion of their geographic distribution and habitat type is given.

“…ElmoorLoureiro (2000), the studies on cladocerans from the littoral zone were the biggest challenge to recognize the true diversity of these microcrustaceans in Brazil. More than a decade later, many advances have been achieved due to the number of new records and descriptions of new species (Santos-Wisniewski et al 2001;Kotov and Elmoor-Loureiro 2008;Sinev and Elmoor-Loureiro 2010;Sousa and Elmoor-Loureiro 2011).…”

Protected areas are designed to maintain environmental conditions that favor the occurrence of a wide variety of taxa. However, few studies have devoted attention to inventories of biota in these areas. In this study, we provide a checklist of cladocerans for the poorly studied Sempre Vivas National Park, Minas Gerais state. Samples were collected in lotic and lentic environments, with a total of 27 species being recorded and the highest contribution coming from the Chydoridae family (21 spp.). Minas Gerais state is widely studied in relation to cladoceran fauna; nevertheless, the results indicate three new records. The genus Monospilus was reported for the first time in the Neotropical region.
