Abstract
The Cyclestheria hislopi belongs to a limnic crustaceans group, with external bivalve carapaces that are known as conchostracans. Extant individuals of several circuntropical islands and continents are identical in morphology, but this very wide distribution is questionable. The reproductive and ecological characteristics of the species restrict its dispersal to fresh water corridors and many populations have been isolated by seas and oceans for millions of years. A proposed hypothesis is that C. hislopi corresponds not to a single species. For fossil conchostracans, similar taxonomic and paleobiogeographic problems are very probable and aggravated by the preservation of only the external carapace. This paper discusses the potential dispersal of species and questions his genetic unit, which allows to reflect on the potential for similar fossil species constitute reliable tools in paleogeographic reconstructions and stratigraphic correlations.
