Resumen:
Mexico is a megadiverse country, with 10% of all known species found
within its borders. The CONABIO catalogue registers rotifers as one of
the best-studied groups of animals in Mexico, with the number of species
recorded representing 18% of the total global rotifer fauna. However,
this registry does not record a single exotic species of Rotifera in
Mexico. Here, we confirm the presence of six species of exotic rotifers
in Mexican inland waters, highlighting the case of Kellicottia
bostoniensis, recorded in Mexico since the 1990's, but never as an
exotic species.
