Notes

The rotifer fauna of three localities near Boa Vista (Roraima, Brazil) is studied. A total of 66 species is identified, 6 of which are new to Brazil. Macrochaetus aspinus sp. n., M. americanus sp. n. and Trichocerca abilioi sp. n. are described. Lepadella latusinus striata Koste, Dicranophorus halbachi Koste and Trichocerca parvula Carlin are recognized as synonyms of L. costatoides Segers, D. kostei Pourriot and Zoppi de Roa and T. rotundata Myers, respectively.
