摘要

Jammu and Kashmir is a crucial part of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot which boasts a varied range of fauna that deserves prompt scientific documentation. This paper presents the first record of Daphnia lumholtzi Sars, 1885 from Jammu & Kashmir. A brief morphology of the species (both female and male) is provided in this paper along with illustrations. Daphnia lumholtzi was observed in low nutrient conditions in Kukrian Wetland Reserve of J&K. This finding extends the distributional range of D. lumholtzi in India.
