Abstract

Populations of Daphnia peruviana from several high mountain ponds in southern Peru were compared with Harding's type material from the vicinity of Titicaca Lake and the species re-described. Differential diagnosis for three more morphologically similar species from the region is given. New species Daphnia inca found in a mountain pond near the Peru–Chile border is described and compared with other South American species of the subgenus Ctenodaphnia.
