Pseudodiaptomus brehmi Kiefer, 1938:76
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
Conservation Status
Last record: 1941 or before (Woltereck et al., 1941 fide Papa et al., 2017)
Rediscovered in: 2009 (Papa et al., 2017; Guinto et al., 2018)
The species was reported twice from its type locality (Lake Naujan, Mindoro Island) (Kiefer, 1938; Woltereck et al., 1941), but more recent surveys have failed to record it again from the lake and the type population is now believed to be extinct (Papa et al., 2017; Guinto et al., 2018).
Distribution & Habitat
