Branchipus blanchardi Daday 1908 in the Alps: Redescription from type locality and synonymy with B. alpinus Colosi 1922 (Crustacea, Anostraca)

Abstract:

Branchipus blanchardi Daday 1908 is redescribed from the type locality, a small temporary pond near Cristol lake (Hautes-Alpes, France). The redescription shows that the male of this species is characterized by two bilobated outgrowths on the anterior side of clypeus, the distal segments of antenna 2 broadly enlarged in the middle and two conical outgrowths on the II to VII abdominal segments. This last characteristic does not agree with Daday's original description in which four outgrowths figured and allows us to establish the synonymy between B. blanchardi and B. alpinus Colosi 1922. © Masson, 1989.
