Notes
24 plankton samples, collected in different parts of the Republic of Senegal (W.Africa) were examined for their rotifer content. Seventy taxa were identified to species level, some of which were present indifferent forms. Thirty three taxa and forms are new to Senegal, three species are new to Africa. Attention is paid to a cruciform population of Asplanchnella sieboldi and to a Brachionus quadridentatus population of very small dimensions. Two new taxa are described: Brachionus cf. angularis and Brachionus bidentatus senegalensis Koste & De Ridder.
