Abstract
The implantation, number, and structure of the setae on the endopodites and exopodites of the limbs, and the setulation of the setae of endite I of all Anostracan species found in Algeria are analysed by light and scanning electron microscopy and graphically represented. The data disclose significant variation among the genera Artemia, Branchinella, Branchipus, Chirocephalus, Streptocephalus and Tanymastigites, and between the related congeners Streptocephalus torvicornis and S. rubricaudatus.
