| Limnas malyschevii Nikif. | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Nikif., Bot. Zhurn. 72: 391 (1987). Holotype (LE): Siberia: "Putorana, lacus Chaja-Kjuel", 04. Aug. 1972, leg. L.I. Malyschev. |
| Notes | Elven and Solstad: Tzvelev (PAF proposal) did not report Limnas malyschevii to reach the Arctic. However, Nikiforova (1990b) mapped it from the Borderline Arctic on the lower Khatanga River and it was collected there in 2004 (Tribsch and Schönswetter, W, O). In 2004, we found it in an arctic locality northwest of Chekurovka village at the lower Lena River (Elven and Solstad, O). This species is probably overlooked. |
