Notes

Brachionus dichotomus Shephard, 1911, hitherto regarded in the literature as a doubtful species, is recorded from waters of eastern Australia. It is a valid species related to the Brachionus caudatus group. An intermediate, Brachionus dichotomus reductus, is described and figured. Ecological and distributional information is also given.
