Key to the currently recognized species of Limnias Schrank, 1803 (Rotifera, Monogononta, Gnesiotrocha, Flosculariidae) Author Wallace, Robert Lee Author Kordbacheh, Azar Author Walsh, Elizabeth J. text Zootaxa 2018 2018-07-02 4442 2 307 318 journal article 29762 10.11646/zootaxa.4442.2.7 1482948b-ee69-44e8-b185-6bb0b994169f 1175-5326 1303168 49141B92-B4B7-4594-B8B9-AC9F6DD52BCF Limnias nymphaea Stenroos, 1898 Fig. 2B Limnias melicerta nymphae : Koste, 1978 Types: None designated. Type locality: Lake Nurmijärvi ( Finland ). Diagnosis. Tube dark gray, set with grains of sand. Ventral antennae short. Dorsal gap in corona unknown. Dorsal nodules present (n = 14 in 3 rows: 6,6,2). Measurements: Total tube length 510–650 µm. Comments. The etymon of this genus is apparently a reference to the plant substratum, Nuphar -Blätte (sic), on which Stenroos (1898) found specimens. Amictic, male, and diapausing embryos undescribed. This species was described from a single occurrence on the leaves of Nuphar sp. in Lake Nurmijärvi ( Finland ). Koste (1978) states that this species may be a form of L. melicerta .
