Abstract

This communication deals with an account of 20 species (spread over four genera) belonging to the family Brachionidae, collected from various localities in Panjab State (N. W. India). A number of infraspecific categories (forms and varieties) are also recorded. The present study has added 8 taxa as new records to the list of previously recorded brachionid rotifers from N. W. India and one represents a new record from India.
