Future
B. tripurae
was recorded as
B
. cf.
japonica
Poppe & Richard, 1890
from
India
(
Kořínek 1971
), and the author already stated that the male of this animal is markedly different from males of
B.
(
Bosmina
)
longirostris
and of
B.
(
Sinobosmina
)
fatalis
.
Kořínek
et al.
(1999)
described the adult male of this species and placed it in the subgenus
Sinobosmina
, based on the position of the lateral head pore, the structure of the male postabdomen, and the copulatory hook. But, according to our re-evaluation of the genus system, this species is a primitive member of the subgenus
Bosmina
s. str.

B

Sinobosmina
) (Kotov
et al.
2009). See also comments on
