Dexteria, Dexteria floridana, LinderiellaAbstract:
Previous molecular studies proposed that the Linderiellidae and Polyartemiidae should be subsumed into the Chirocephalidae. In an attempt to find morphological evidence to support this assertion, the author compared the genital morphology for representative genera of the Linderiellidae, Chirocephalidae, and Polyartemiidae. Penal morphology of the anostracan genera Linderiella and Dexteria appear to form a continuum between the Chirocephalidae and the Polyartemiidae. Furthermore, due to the limited information presented in the original description, Dexteria floridana is redescribed from type material.
