ABSTRACT

The large branchiopod crustacean fauna (fairy shrimp, tadpole shrimp and clam shrimp) of the Neotropical Bioregion are incompletely known, with scattered records for many taxa, and many new taxa discovered and described regularly. As an aid to furthering our knowledge of the group in this region, we present an assortment of notes and records on various Neotropical taxa. We present our information in the form of a checklist, listing all reported species, with a review of their known distribution, with 56 new distributional records for 29 taxa. We also include a revised description of Spiralifrons mira based on new material from Brazil, and provide important comments on the Leptestheriidae, reducing Strakrabiidae, Straskrabia, and Brtekia to synonymy. The information presented here will assist in additional studies, surveys, and conservation, as well as help develop a biogeographical understanding of this vast region. Thus, we have compiled these records so that it will be available to other researchers. Future survey efforts will undoubtedly reveal additional records and taxa.

抽象的

新热带生物区的大型支脚类甲壳类动物区系（仙女虾，t虾和蛤虾）不完全为人所知，有许多类群的零星记录，并定期发现和描述许多新的类群。为了增强我们对该地区的了解，我们提供了各种新热带分类群的注释和记录。我们以清单的形式提供我们的信息，列出所有报告的物种，并对其已知分布进行回顾，并为29个分类单元提供了56个新的分布记录。我们还根据来自巴西的新材料对螺旋藻进行了修订，并就Leptestheriidae，减少Strakrabiidae，Straskrabia和Brtekia提供了重要意见。成为同义词。此处提供的信息将有助于进行其他研究，调查和保护，并有助于建立对该广阔地区的生物地理学认识。因此，我们整理了这些记录，以便其他研究人员可以使用。毫无疑问，未来的调查工作将揭示其他记录和分类。
