CHATTERJEE, TAPAS, KOTOV, ALEXEY A., DAMME, KAY VAN, CHANDRASEKHAR, S. V. A. & PADHYE, SAMEER, 2013, An annotated checklist of the Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) from India, Zootaxa 3667 (1), pp. 1-89 : 60

(129) Pleuroxus trigonellus (O. F. Müller, 1776) s.lat.

Indian records. Jammu & Kashmir— Brehm (1936), Akthar (1972), Balkhi (1987), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Siraj et al. (2006); Karnataka — Patil & Gouder (1988); Maharashtra — Pandit et al. (2007); Rajasthan — Nayar (1971); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Sharma B.K. & Michael (1987), Murugan et al. (1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid species described from Denmark (O.F. Müller 1776). It is necessary to say that determination by Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988, p. 126–128, Fig. 38) is problematic, the specimen from their illustration apparently is not P. trigonellus having too delicate postanal teeth on the postabdomen.

Distribution. “Holarctic” ( Smirnov 1996), other records need to be checked.
