Notes
During a study (June-August 1993) 117 samples were taken in order to investigate the presence of limnetic rotifers in Jamaica. 149 different forms were found: 127 Monogononta and 22 Digononta. Since identification was hindered by preserving artifacts, only 143 species could be determined, including Cephalodella irisae n. sp. and Cephalodella intuta jamaicaiensis n. spp. The most interesting species well be presented along with remarks regarding their systematical position, taxonomy and biogeography.
