Spinicaudata Catalogus (Crustacea: Branchiopoda). Author Rogers, D. Christopher text Zoological Studies 2020 2020-08-05 59 45 1 44 http://dx.doi.org/10.6620/ZS.2020.59-45 journal article 10.6620/ZS.2020.59-45 1810-522X Leptestheria laurentii ( Gauthier, 1951 ) = Leptestheriella laurentii Gauthier, 1951 Comments : Known only from “Station 4 - Poull Koz” near Tambacounda , Senegal . Should be closely compared with L. caeciliae , which is know from only one pool in the same area. The two taxa are separated primarily on carapace ornamentation, and are probably the same species. In the original description, Gauthier (1951) gives a key to the genus for western Africa, but omits this species.
