Abstract

Examination of 200 samples from 93 freshwater habitats in north-eastThailand revealed 60 taxa of Cladocera, of which 31 are new to the Thaifauna. Six species (Disparalona caudata Smirnov; Leydigialaevis Gurney; Leydigiopsis sp.; Macrothrix flabelligeraSmirnov; Macrothrix cf. paulensis Sars; and Pseudosidaramosa Daday) are new to Asia. The majority of the Cladocera recorded arecircumtropical species. Comments and figures are presented on several ofthe new records for Asia and Thailand.
