Etymology The name 'calyciflorus' originates from the latin words 'calyx' (originally coming from the greek 'κάλυξ') and 'flos' meaning flower. Probably it was used due to the resemblage of B. calyciflorus to the shape of a flower-calyx (Michaloudi et al. (2018)). [details]

• a recent record of Brachionus dimidiatus Bryce from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India, by Sharma & Sharma (op. cit.) apparently represents a B. calyciflorus Pallas with particularly short and stout anterior spines.

Ecology Brackish water records also include inland saline habitats (Fontaneto et al., 2006). [details]Etymology The name 'calyciflorus' originates from the latin words 'calyx' (originally coming from the greek 'κάλυξ') and 'flos' meaning flower. Probably it was used due to the resemblage of B. calyciflorus to the shape of a flower-calyx (Michaloudi et al. (2018)). [details]

Taxonomy • B. budapestinensis Daday after Thijar et al. (2016); ?B. dimidiatus Bryce after Sharma & Sharma (2019).
• a recent record of Brachionus dimidiatus Bryce from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India, by Sharma & Sharma (op. cit.) apparently represents a B. calyciflorus Pallas with particularly short and stout anterior spines.
• Polymorphic species with a number of sub- and infrasubspecific taxa of uncertain taxonomic status. Probably represents a complex of cryptic species with narrower geographic ranges and/or ecological tolerances! [details]
