Family Moinidae Goulden, 1968

33. Moina brachiata (Jurine, 1820) . Recorded by Pearse (1916) and Álvarez (2010). Palearctic species, but it has been also reported from Africa ( Goulden 1968; Smirnov 1976; Kotov et al. 2013a). According to Goulden (1968), this species is absent in the New World, but Elías-Gutiérrez et al. (2008a) reported it from the northern Neotropics. The Colombian specimens should be revised. In Colombia, it occurs in the Caribbean region.

34. Moina eugeniae Olivier, 1954 . Recorded by Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 18). Neotropical species ( Smirnov 1976). In Colombia, it occurs in the Caribbean region.

35. Moina micrura Kurz, 1874 s .lat. Recorded by Barón-Rodríguez et al. (2006); Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011); Gaviria (2001) and Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 16). A cosmopolitan group needs a detailed revision (Elías-Gutlíerrez et al. 1999; Petrusek et al. 2004; Elías-Gutlíerrez et al. 2008b; Kotov et al. 2013a). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions.

36. Moina minuta Hansen, 1899 . Recorded by Barón-Rodríguez et al. (2006); Gallo-Sánchez et al. (2009); Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011) and Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012). Neotropical species ( Paggi 1973; Smirnov 1976; Kotov et al. 2013a). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions.

Moina macrophtalma Stingelin, 1913 . Recorded by Stingelin (1913) in Colombia. This species is considered among synonyms of Moina micrura ( Kotov et al. 2013a), but if known populations from the Neotropics will be regarded as belonging to a separate species, one of them could be M. macrophthalma .

37. Moina reticulata (Daday, 1905) . Recorded by Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011) and Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 17). It is considered a Neotropical species ( Paggi 1973; Kotov et al. 2013a), while populations from Africa ( Lamoot & Dumont 1974) probably belong to a separate, yet undescribed species. In Colombia, it has been reported from the Amazon and Caribbean regions.

38. Moinodaphnia macleayi Herrick, 1887 . Recorded by Pearse (1916); Barón-Rodríguez et al. (2006); Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011); Brehm (1956); Gaviria (2001); Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 15) and Fuentes- Reinés (2014a). It is widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics of the Old and New World, penetrating into non-tropical areas of Asia and North America ( Goulden 1968). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions. The genus needs to be revised worldwide.
