Indian records. Andhra Pradesh — Chandrasekhar (1998b, 2004a); Assam — Biswas (1980), Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a); Goa— Rane (2008); Jammu & Kashmir— Brehm (1936), Akthar (1972), Yousuf et al. (1984), Balkhi (1987), Parveen (1988), Siraj et al. (2006), Ahangar et al. (2012a); Gujarat — Petkovski (1966); Kerala — Subhash Babu & Nayar (2004); Madhya Pradesh —Mathor (2011); Maharashtra — Rane (2006); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2009a); Meghalaya — Patil (1976), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988); Mizoram —Pachnau (2008); West Bengal —Sharma B.K. (1978), Venkataraman & Das (1983), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Khan (2003); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).
Remarks. Valid species described from Germany ( Leydig 1860). Oriental populations (Michael & Sharma B.K. 1988; Idris 1983; Maiphae et al. 2005; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010) need to be revised (Van Damme et al., 2010). In the region, several names exist for closely related species, for example A. elliptica and A. kendallensis from Australia ( Sinev 1997).
Distribution. Cosmopolitan species group (Van Damme et al. 2010). It is unlikely which member (or perhaps more than one) of this species group is present in India, and Oriental sibling species of the Palaearctic A. affinis s.str. can be expected.
Alona cf. anodonta , see Coronatella cf. anodonta
Indian records. Maharsahtra— Rane (2002, 2005b).
Remarks. Valid species of the A. pulchella- group, described from Australia ( Sars 1888) and distributed mainly in this continent (Sinev 2002), yet occasionally reported from South East Asia (e.g., Southern Thailand, Maiphae et al. 2008). Its presence in India can not be confirmed yet. (possible, but the species is quite rare). The species could be confused with A. pulchella or A. cambouei , yet the postabdomen of A. archeri has conspicuously large distal marginal teeth, a good character to distinguish from other smaller alonines.
Distribution. Australian species (Sinev 2002), with few records from South East Asia.
