Species 3q. ¿C. balatonicus Devai, Wülker & SchollSequence from Palearctic specimens in in BOLD Bin: BOLD:AAW3990 Larva as C. entis, i.e. a semireductus type. Cytology: 4 polytene chromosomes with the thummi arm combination: AB, CD, EF, G.
Specific sequences of North American populations not described. If similar to European specimens, Arm F is identical to tardus, cucini, etc. Found: Alberta - South Baptiste Lake. European specimens in deep open water sediments.Molecular Data
The mtCOI and CytB and the Gb2β sequences for Palearctic specimens are in GenBank (and the COI sequence is also in BOLD) Identified by P. Michailova (Dinsmore & Prepas 1997, p.2171). Kiknadze (pers. comm.) found none in a small sample she checked from South Baptiste Lake.
If correctly identified, C. balatonicus would be a Holarctic species. See also C. entis, C. plumosus and C. muratensis.[ Return to Index| Go to References ] |
