Genus
Bosmina
Baird, 1845
The taxonomic status of the genus
Bosmina
remains unsettled.
De Melo & Hebert (1994)
and
Taylor
et al.
(2002)
studied populations of this genus in the northern half of the American continent using both molecular and morphological approaches, but populations in the south have only seen morphological analysis (
Paggi 1979
). The genus was represented in this study by three species, but
Bosmina tubicen
Brehm
was only recorded from Lake
Peten
.
Bosmina huaronensis
Delachaux
was widespread from the Central Plateau to the north, while
B. longirostris
(O.F. Müller)
was restricted to one locality on the Central plateau.
