Family
Leptodoridae Lilljeborg, 1861
Leptodora kindtii
(Focke, 1844)
.
Records:
Chen & Hu, 1988
: 32 (Xinjiang); currently, the only trustworthy record (confirmed by DNA analysis) is from Ulungur Hu in Xinjiang (Xu
et al
. 2011). All other Chinese records need checking, since these populations may belong to
L. richardi
or hybrids
L. richardi
x
L. kindtii
(Xu
et al
. 2011)
.
Leptodora richardi
Korovchinsky, 2009
.
Records: cited from various localities in
China
under the name
L. kindtii
;
Uéno, 1937
: 208 (Non-ho (
viz
Nen Jiang) near Qiqihar);
Uéno, 1940b
: 552 (Ulungur Hu; Xingkai Hu=Lake Khanka);
Mashiko, 1951b
: 141 (Hankou, Dongting Hu);
Chiang, 1955

Du & Lai, 1958

: 22 (Tai Hu);
Du & Lai, 1959
: 305 (Tai Hu);
Chiang & Du, 1979
: 80–82/54 (Wuli Hu; Dong Hu in Wuhan; provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Yunnan and Inner
Mongolia
); Xu
et al
., 2011(Feilaixia reservoir, Qiandao Hu, Xinlicheng area; Liuxihe reservoir, Xujiahe reservoir); Xiang & Yu (unpubl. data: Zhijiang, Jianli, Chenglingji, Honghu, Jiayu, Wuhan, Huangshi, Jiujiang, Hukou, Anqing, Tongling, Wuhu, Maanshan, Nanjing and Nantong sections of Yangtze River; Xiang Xi, Huangbai He and Han Jiang; Lushui Reservoir; Bao’an Hu, Dong Hu in Wuhan, Hong Hu, Poyang Hu, Tai Hu, Biandan Tang, Wuli Hu, Dongqian Hu, Qiandao Hu and Longhu Pao). Towards the south, it reaches the Tropic of Cancer in
China
, much further south than
L. kindtii
in Europe. The records of
Leptodora
in
China
are shown in
Figure 2
, however, most of these records beg morphological as well as genetical confirmation.
Millette
et al
. (2011)
confirmed the existence of two species in the Eastern Palaearctic, but did not mention any hybrids. Genetical studies of
Leptodora
need to be continued.
