Abstract

The presence of non-cladoceran branchiopods was detected in only 16 out of 83 temporary freshwater ponds of SW Portugal, which were recently sampled by the authors and other researchers. Two anostracans, Branchipus cortesi and Chirocephalus diaphanus; two spinicaudatans, Cyzicus grubei and Maghrebestheria maroccana; and one notostracan, Triops cancriformis mauritanicus, were identified. All taxa are new records locally, and all but C. grubei and T. c. mauritanicus are reported for the first time from Portugal.
