Type species defined by Baird (1843) for subgenus Alona Baird, 1843 View in CoL . Raised to genus level by Baird (1850). Agassiz (1846) proposed a nomenclatural correction for this taxon in his Nomenclatoris zoologici index universalis, called Halona Agassiz, 1846 emend. pro Alona Baird, 1843 View in CoL , but this is ungrounded. Alona Baird, 1843 View in CoL has priority and is retained.
