To contribute to the biogeographical knowledge of rotifers, we critically re-evaluate the species of Lecanidae recorded from Thailand. We report on a number of rare (L. armata THOMASSON, L. bulla diabolica HAUER, L. chinesensis ZHUGE and KOSTE) and one new species of Lecane. Lecane latissima YAMAMOT

โฆ Synopsis
Lecane superaculeatan. sp. is described from three localities in Thailand. It resembles the small, cosmopolitan L. aculeafa (JAKUBSKI, 1912) but is distinguished by its larger size and conspicuous anterolateral spines. Additional records of some recently described Thai Lecane species and comments on Oriental endemics are presented L. eswari DHANAPATHI is newly recorded for the country.

As in the previous publication, the names of genera, species, subspecies are listed alphabetically. Species that were not included in the first paper are in the present list. The country of each species is recorded.
The presence of hard jaws (trophi), with species-specific shape and size, is a taxonomic feature of Rotifera, a group of microscopic metazoans. Since trophi are used to discriminate among species, it is important to know whether these structures change in taxonomically important ways during postembr
This small and friendly book is one of the series of Guides edited by HENRY DUMONT. The first book of its rotifer part, i.e. Rotifera, vol. 1: Biology, Ecology and Systematics, 1993, summarized the general biology of rotifers. Subsequent volumes are to deal with the taxonomy and identification keys.
This is the fifth book of the series of guides to the identification of Rotifera. The series is edited by H. J. DUMONT (University of Gent, Belgium) and produced by experts in rotifer taxonomy and ecology. The fifth volume of the series describes two rotifer families: the Dicranophoridae and the Itu
