Abstract
We provide a taxonomic differentiation of species related to Diaphanosoma modigliani Richard s.str., recorded outside its type locality (Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia) for the first time. Diaphanosoma tropicum sp.nov. is described on material from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and China with analysis of interpopulation morphological variability supplemented by notes on geographical distribution and biology of the species.
