Distribution patterns
The geographic distribution of the species is illustrated
in Figs 1-10.
1) Anostraca. The Branchinectidae (Fig. 1), comprised of only one genus, Branchinecta, is represented by three distinct groups. The paludosa-group, is
composed of a single circumpolar species with southern relicts in high mountains: Branchinecta paludosa.
The tolli-group (closely related to some American
species) is represented by the polar Branchinecta tolli.
The orientalis-group is represented by three species,
widespread in pools of the steppe zone: Branchinecta
ferox, B. min uta and B. orientalis. B. ferox also lives in
northern Africa, East Asia and Asia minor. B. minuta
is endemic of the area of Dnepropetrovsk. B. orientalis, typical of natron pools in the European part of its
range, occurs on high mountains in Asia.
The arctic Polyartemiidae (Fig. 2) are represented
by the Eurasian Polyartemiaforcipata. The Arctic subfamily Artemiopsinae of the Chirocephalidae is represented by Artemiopsis bungei plovmornini, known
from Novaya Zemlya and Vaigatsch Island.
The Artemiidae (Fig. 2), distributed in saltwaters around the world, are common in Europe. The
type species, Artemia salina, was described from
Lymington in England, but Artemia parthenogenetica, A. tunisiana and the introduced A. persimilis (over
and above a great number of unclassifiable synonyms),
cannot be identified on preserved material. Since most
literature data are not reliable, we lumped the distribution of all three. In Europe Artemia does not reach
55 ON in the west and 50 ON in the east.
The Streptocephalidae (Fig. 2) are represented by
a single species, Streptocephalus torvicornis 5 , which
also occurs in northern Africa and southwest Asia
(Turkmenia). Dumont et at. (1994) argue that its
present range came into existence after the last glaciation, as populations moved forward from Africa and
Arabia on two fronts: one on the Iberian Peninsula
(S. torvicornis bucheti) and one along the rivers that
drain into the Black and Caspian Seas (S. torvicornis
torvicornis).
The Branchipodidae (Fig. 3) are represented by
Branchipus and Tanymastix. In Branchipus, the species
B. schaefferi, is widely distributed in the steppie and
