The original description of Diaptomus vexillifer Brehm, 1933, endemic to Lake Danao (Leyte Island), was elementary and lacking taxonomically satisfactory characters. In this paper, we redescribe the Philippine-endemic genus Filipinodiaptomus Lai, Mamaril Sr. & Fernando, 1979 and the species D. vexillifer collected from its type locality, using light and scanning electron microscopy and an analysis of the mtCOI gene and the ITS of the nuclear 18S operon. We found that D. vexillifer is the second species under this endemic genus. A neotype and paraneotypes are hereby designated. Also a detailed morphological comparison is made between Filipinodiaptomus vexillifer (Brehm, 1933) comb. nov. and Filipinodiaptomus insulanus (Wright, 1928). Their taxonomic characters, interspecies relationship, and biogeography are likewise discussed.
La description originale de Diaptomus vexillifer Brehm, 1933, endémique du lac Danao (île de Leyte), est sommaire et manque de caractères taxonomiquement adéquats. Dans cette étude, nous redécrivons le genre endémique des Philippines Filipinodiaptomus Lai, Mamaril Sr. & Fernando, 1979 et l’espèce D. vexillifer collectée dans sa localité-type, en utilisant la microscopie optique et électronique et une analyse du gène mtCOI et de la région ITS de l’opéron nucléaire 18S. Nous avons mis en évidence que D. vexillifer est la seconde espèce de ce genre endémique. Un néotype et des paranéotypes sont ici désignés. Également, une comparaison morphologique détaillée a été réalisée entre Filipinodiaptomus vexillifer (Brehm, 1933) comb. nov. et Filipinodiaptomus insulanus (Wright, 1928). Leurs caractères taxonomiques, leurs relations interspécifiques, et leur biogéographie sont également discutées.
