Comments: The cosmopolitan distribution of this species suggests that multiple species have been reported under this name. Accordingly, it was designated as a species group by Glasby (1999). In northern Australia the species can survive for several weeks in tap water (CJG pers. obs.). Additional references: Rullier (1957), Wesenberg-Lund (1958), Glasby et al.
