6a (see Fig. 1 and
Table 1
).
Parthenogenetic female.
Body subovoid, dorsal margin with a wear cervical incision, postero-dorsal angle as a rounded triangle (
Fig. 7
A–B), posterior margin fluently turned to ventral margin without any angle, ventral margin convex; no hairs anywhere else on the head or valves. Body compressed laterally, with a well-expressed median keel on dorsal portion of valves. Head small, sub-triangular, with a shallow supra-ocular depression above large compound eye which fills the tip of the head; ocellus small (
Fig. 7
B). Valves reticulated, ventral margin with denticles, a pair of submarginal hooks at the point where the valves come together (
Fig. 7
C). Postabdomen with wide preanal and narrow postanal portions, preanal margin large and lacking long setules, preanal angle distinct, anal margin straight, postanal angle expressed, postanal margin straight (
Fig. 7
D). On postanal portion, eight-nine feathered lateral teeth plus a long, bident tooth near base of postabdominal claw. Postabdominal claw long, with two pectens of thin setules. Antenna I long, cylindrical, antennular sensory seta originated somewhat proximally to its middle; nine very short aesthetascs distally (
Fig. 7
A). Antenna II thin and long, basal segment with a long seta on posterior side (
Fig. 7
E). Antennal formula: setae 0-0-1-3/1-1-3, spines 0-1-0-1/0-0-1. Apical spine on exopod specially long, so, it is sometimes counted as a seta (
Smirnov, 1976
), but we think that antennal formula as suggested here is more correct for homologization of setae and spines on antenna II on
Moinodaphnia
and other anomopods. Limb I as illustrated in
Fig.

F. Size in our material 0.7–1.2 mm.
Notes.
According to
Smirnov (1976)
,
Moinodaphnia macleayi
is a circumtropical species. Most probably
Korea
is the northernmost area of its distribution. The species is also known from
China
(
Chiang & Du 1979
) and
Japan
(
Mizuno & Takahashi 1991
). This is the first record for
Korea
.
