Abstract
A series of closed saline lakes located between Beachport and Robe in South
Australia are discussed in more detail than previously.
The following taxa are reported for the first time: the polychaete Capitella
capitata (Fabricius), the dipteran Culicoides, the turbellarian Mesostoma, and the
copepod Acartia clausii Giesbrecht. New taxa that will be described by other workers
wholly or partially from material collected in this region are as follows: a new species
and genus of hydrozoan probably belonging to the order Limnomedusae, and three new
copepod species belonging to the genera Mesochra, Robertsonia, and Heterolaophonte.
Previously recorded taxa which have now been more closely identified are as follows:
"Nereidae" (earlier paper) → Ceratoneereis erythraeensis Fauvel (present paper),
"Onychocamptus sp." → O. bengalensis (Sewell), and "Halicyclops sp. nov." → H.
Ambiguus Kiefer. The cladoceran Daphniopsis pusilla Serventy is recorded from a
salinity of 57‰.
The significance of resistant stages, and the biological status of closed saline lakes
located close to the sea, are discussed.
