Abstract

This is the first record of Eulimnadia michaeli, identified from the vernal pools of Karachi, Pakistan, based on the morphological and meristic characteristics. E. michaeli have been found to inhabit seasonal, temporary water pools formed after post monsoon rainfall. The species was previously recorded from tropical Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. The current study confirmed the presence of E. michaeli in the vernal pools of Karachi, Pakistan. The morphometry of the length and height of carapace of E. michaeli showed an isometric relationship The variable size of polygons was evident when external morphology of eggs was observed through Scanning Electron Microscope, along with other taxonomic characters of the body.

Eulimnadia michaeli（棘尾目；Limnadiidae 科）的一些特征和公制特征：来自巴基斯坦卡拉奇春天池的第一份报告

摘要

这是根据形态和分生特征从巴基斯坦卡拉奇的春季池中鉴定出的Eulimnadia michaeli的第一个记录。人们发现E. michaeli栖息在季风降雨后形成的季节性临时水池中。该物种此前曾在亚洲热带地区被记录，包括印度、斯里兰卡和泰国。目前的研究证实巴基斯坦卡拉奇的春季水池中存在米氏大肠杆菌。米氏巨蜥甲壳长度和高度的形态测量呈等轴关系。通过扫描电镜观察卵的外部形态以及身体的其他分类特征，多边形大小变化明显。
