MM. 229 (211) Post-abdomen large, pre-anal angle ordinarily not prominent. Alonella Sars 1862 . 230 This genus consists of a heterogeneous assemblage of forms; not assignable elsewhere and not easily separable. There are 3 sections which might well constitute separate genera: (i) Alonella proper. Rostrum long, slender, recurved; usually conspicuously so; post- abdomen with marginal denticles only; claws with i basal spine. A. roslrala, dadayi, nana. (2) Paralonella. Rostrum short, hardly exceeding antennules; post-abdomen with very small marginal denticles, with or without lateral fascicles; claws with i basal spine. A. karua, denttfera, diaphana, globulosa. (3) Pleuroxalonella. Rostrum moderate; post- abdomen with marginal denticles only; claws with 2 basal spines. Pleuroxus-]ike. A. excisa, exigua. 230 (23 s) Rostrum short; post-abdomen with marginal and lateral denticles. 231 231 (234) Valves with infero-posteal angle toothed 232 232 (233) About 3 fine teeth; valves striated. Alonella karua (King) 1853. General shape like Alona and eaaly taken for a member of that genus. (See 132.) Valves with oblique striae; infero- posteal angle with 1-4 minute teeth. Post-abdomen broad, expanded behind anus; apex rounded; with about 8 minute marginal denticles and as many lateral fascicles, much larger. Claws with i small basal spine. Color yellow, trans- parent. Length, J,; $ (South America), mm. Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas; not rare, in pools and lakes. Fig. 1158. Alonella aiMM<.. Please note that these images are extracted f
