Abstract

The monogonont Rotifera fauna of Lobo (Broa) reservoir (SP., Brazil), present in 12 samples collected on a single date during the cool season (26 August 1994), is listed and commented upon. In total, 102 species could be identified, three of which, Ascomorpha tundisii n.sp., Lecane broaensis n.sp. and Lepadella neglecta n.sp. are new to science. Lecane mitis Harring & Myers and Lepadella elongata Koste are redescribed. A note on the taxonomy of the Ascomorpha saltans-group is added.
