Author PADHYE, SAMEER text Zootaxa 2013 2013-06-05 3667 1 1 89 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3667.1.1 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3667.1.1 1175-5326 5266205 0A38BF2A-135C-4C57-B291-40C34DD54FB9 (49) Moina oryzae Hudec, 1987 Type locality. "Gingee (=Senji); rice field in territory of fort (Senji fort)", Tamil Nadu , India ( Hudec 1987 ) . Indian records. Tamil Nadu — Hudec (1987) , Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002 , 2009), Kudari et al. (2005) ; General record— Murugan et al. (1998) , Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) . Remarks. Valid, original Indian species. Distribution. Definitively known only from two localities in Tamil Nadu , India . Perhaps, the record of " M. reticulata " by Fernando & Kanduru (1984) also belongs to this taxon, but the authors did not provide their record with information on the locality in India . Moina rectirostris ( Jurine, 1820 ) Indian records. Jammu & Kashmir— Brehm (1936) ; Rajasthan — Biswas (1971) , Sharma V. et al. (2012); Tamil Nadu — Kudari et al. (2005) ; General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984) ; Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) Remarks. " M. rectirostris " is an invalid taxon, see explanations in Goulden (1968) . Moina rectirostris recorded from India belongs to Moina brachiata (see Michael & Sharma B.K. 1988) Moina reticulata ( Daday, 1905 ) Indian records. General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984) . Remarks. M. reticulata is a valid Neotropical species described from Paraguay ( Daday 1905 ), but its presence in the Oriental zone is very dubious. Most probably, Fernando and Kanduru (1984) meant the later described M. oryzae Hudec, 1987 .
