Abstract / Notes

1 n. sp. in Phaenocora, and 2 n. spp. and 1 n. subsp. in Mesostoma are descr. from ponds in western Tibet, at
alt. from 4330-5217 m. Members of these genera are common in shallow alpine pools and probably can withstand
great ranges of temp. A dark coloration seems to be characteristic of such alpine rhabdocoels.
