Abstract
A detailed study of morphology of the rare phytophilous cladoceran Camptocercus lilljeborgi Schoedler, 1862 revealed that populations from Eastern Siberia and Far East of Russia belong to a new species. C. smirnovi sp. nov. differs from C. lilljeborgi in body shape, morphology of ventral margin of valves, morphology of postabdomen, and length of IDL seta 1 of the thoracic limb I. C. lilljeborgi s. str. is distributed in Europe and Western Siberia, therefore, the lilljeborgi-group provides an example of the western-eastern differentiation in Northern Eurasia. Some characters of taxa from the lilljeborgi-group are convergently similar to the characters of the species of genus Graptoleberis Sars, 1862; both groups are adapted to a snail-like crawling on the surface of water macrophytes.
