Taxon Notes:	A number of new species names for Daphnia species were introduced in the study by Colbourne et al, 2006 - none of these have been formally described and all are currently regarded as nomen nuda. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
