03CF7920FFEDFFDD4CC6F8E2FD0E1933.taxon	description	Among the 15 species identified in this study, four (D. ambigua, D. ‘ pulicaria ’, D. similis, D. spinulata) are either conspecific or very closely allied with North American species. A population of a fifth shared species, D. pulex, has been detected in Chile by a molecular survey of populations (S. J. Adamowicz, unpubl. data) and, recently, in the Argentine province of Neuquén, based on morphology (M. C. Marinone, pers. observ.). On the other hand, 11 species were found to be South American endemics. Additionally, three species known from morphological study are considered to be Andean endemics: Daph- ˆ	en	Adamowicz, Sarah J., Hebert, Paul D.

03CF7920FFEDFFDD4CC6F8E2FD0E1933.taxon	description	Patterns of species richness and endemism cannot yet be compared between South America and Africa or the Eurasian landmass, as the daphniid faunas of the latter area have not been adequately characterized using genetic tools. Patterns of morphological similarity indicate that this would be an interesting endeavour. The nature of daphniid species distributions could be better understood by verifying the identity of those species nominally shared between South America and Africa: D. gessneri, D. laevis, D. ornithocephala, ˆ	en	Adamowicz, Sarah J., Hebert, Paul D.
