The cladoceranHolopedium gibberumZaddach, 1855 (Ctenopoda: Holopediidae) was once thought to occur broadly in the northern hemisphere, but its cryptic sister species was recently separated fromH. gibberumsensu stricto (s.s.) as a new species,Holopedium glacialis. In East Asia, although “H. gibberum” occurrence has been recorded in many water bodies, the identity of the surveyed populations has rarely been confirmed via molecular analyses. Thus, it is unclear whether it is actuallyH. gibberums.s. orH. glacialisthat is distributed in East Asia. We used DNA-barcoding techniques to check the taxonomic status ofHolopediumsamples collected in Japan. We sequenced mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) and nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (nr18S) of JapaneseHolopediumand compared the results with those ofH. gibberums.s. collected in Norway andH. glacialiscollected in Canada. The mtCOI sequence divergences between NorwegianH. gibberums.s. and JapaneseHolopediumwere at most 2.4%, which was within the degree of intraspecific differentiation in cladocerans. NorwegianH. gibberums.s. and JapaneseHolopediumshared identical nr18S haplotypes. Individuals of CanadianH. glacialiswere genetically different from those of JapaneseHolopedium. We therefore concluded that JapaneseHolopediumcan be identified asH. gibberums.s.
