Chirocephalidae
Chirocephalidae is a family of fairy shrimp, characterised by a reduced or vestigial maxilla, more than two setae on the fifth endite, divided pre-epipodites and widely separated seminal vesicle The seminal vesicles (also called vesicular glands, or seminal glands) are a pair of two convoluted tubular glands that lie behind the urinary bladder of some male mammals. They secrete fluid that partly composes the semen. The vesicles are 5†...s. It consists of the following eight genera, including the genera formerly placed in the families Linderiellidae and Polyartemiidae: *'' Artemiopsis'' G. O. Sars, 1897 *'' Branchinectella'' Daday de Dées, 1910 *'' Chirocephalus'' Prévost, 1820 *'' Dexteria'' Brtek, 1965 *'' Eubranchipus'' Verrill, 1870 *'' Linderiella'' Brtek, 1964 *'' Polyartemia'' Fischer, 1851 *'' Polyartemiella'' Daday de Dées, 1909 References Anostraca Crustacean families {{branchiopoda-stub ...

Anostraca
Anostraca is one of the four orders of crustaceans in the class Branchiopoda; its members are referred to as fairy shrimp. They live in vernal pools and hypersaline lakes across the world, and they have even been found in deserts, ice-covered mountain lakes and Antarctic ice. They are usually long (exceptionally up to ). Most species have 20 body segments, bearing 11 pairs of leaf-like ''phyllopodia'' (swimming legs), and the body lacks a carapace. They swim "upside-down" and feed by filtering organic particles from the water or by scraping algae from surfaces. They are an important food for many birds and fish, and some are cultured and harvested for use as fish food. There are 300 species spread across 8 families. Description The body of a fairy shrimp is elongated and divided into segments. The whole animal is typically long, but one species, '' Branchinecta gigas'' does not reach sexual maturity until it reaches long, and can grow to long. The exoskeleton is thin and ...

Dexteria
''Dexteria floridana'' is an extinct species of fairy shrimp in the family Chirocephalidae, the only species in the genus ''Dexteria''. It was endemic to Florida, where it was known from a single pool, south of Gainesville. It was originally described by Ralph W. Dexter in 1953 as a species of ''Eubranchipus ''Eubranchipus'' is a genus of brine shrimp and fairy shrimp in the family Chirocephalidae. There are about 16 described species in ''Eubranchipus''. Species * '' Eubranchipus asanumai'' * '' Eubranchipus birostratus'' (Fischer, 1851) * '' Eubran ...''. The species was declared extinct on October 5, 2011 because it was found that the only known pool of water that contained the known population was filled in for development, thereby killing the shrimps.

Chirocephalus Diaphanus
''Chirocephalus diaphanus'' is a widely distributed European species of fairy shrimp that lives as far north as Great Britain, where it is the only surviving species of fairy shrimp and is protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is a translucent animal, about long, with reddened tips to the abdomen and appendages. The body comprises a head, a thorax bearing 11 pairs of appendages, and a seven-segmented abdomen. In males, the antennae are enlarged to form "frontal appendages", while females have an egg pouch at the end of the thorax. The life cycle of ''C. diaphanus'' is extremely fast, and the species can only persist in pools without predators. The eggs tolerate drying out, and hatch when re-immersed in water. ''C. diaphanus'' was first reported in the scientific literature in 1704, but was only separated from other species and given its scientific name in 1803. The specific epithet ''diaphanus'' refers to the animal's transparency. Description ''Chiroceph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eugen Von Daday
Eugen von Daday or JenÅ‘ von Daday (1855–1920) was a Romanian professor of zoology in Hungary in the late 19th and early 20th century. Daday was an expert on aquatic invertebrates, particularly crustaceans. Daday collected and identified many species and genera within the borders of the Hungarian empire, and received samples of invertebrates from collectors around the world. After his death in 1920, Daday's collection of crustaceans was acquired by the Hungarian Natural History Museum The Hungarian Natural History Museum ( hu, Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum) in Budapest, dating back to 1802, houses the largest natural history collections of Hungary and the region. History of the museum Foundation In 1802, Count Feren ....
