Abstract

Four relatively rare, two common rotifers and one rotifer new to science are described from some coastal lakes near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Each rotifer is described in detail, and several are accompanied by illustrations and mensuration data. Geographic distribution and individual habitats of the rotifers are also discussed. Several species show a larger geographic distribution than previously known.
