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.
对珍稀的植物性枝角类生物 Camptocercus lilljeborgi Schoedler, 1862 的形态学进行了详细研究,结果表明,来自西伯利亚东部和俄罗斯远东地区的种群属于一个新物种。C. smirnovi sp. nov. 与 C. lilljeborgi 在体型、腹缘形态、后腹部形态以及胸肢 I 的 IDL 刚毛 1 的长度上存在差异。C. lilljeborgi s. str. 分布于欧洲和西西伯利亚,因此,lilljeborgi 组为北欧亚大陆东西分化提供了一个例证。来自 lilljeborgi 组的某些类群的特征与 Graptoleberis Sars, 1862 属的物种特征趋同相似;这两个组都适应于在水面大型植物上类似蜗牛的爬行。
