Resumen:
A taxonomic survey on freshwater rotifers from eight localities of Mexico resulted in a total of 123 taxa, of which 28 monogonont species are new records. These are: Asplanchna intermedia (Hudson, 1886), Asplanchna silvestris (Daday, 1902), Cephalodella apocolea Myers, 1924, C. giganthea Remane, 1933, Dicranophorus uncinatus (Milne, 1886), Dipleuchlanis propatula (Gosse, 1886), Epiphanes macrourus (Barrois & Daday, 1894), Euchlanis incisa Carlin, 1939, Gastropus hyptopus (Ehrenberg, 1838), Keratella serrulata (Ehrenberg, 1838), Lecane aculeata (Jakubski, 1912), L. furcata (Murray, 1913), L. rhenana Hauer, 1929, L. sola Hauer, 1936, Mytilina acantophora Hauer, 1938, M. bisulcata (Lucks, 1912), Monommata arndti Remane, 1933, Notommata cyrtopus Gosse, 1886, N. falcinella Harring & Myers, 1921, N. pachyura (Gosse, 1886), N. saccigera Ehrenberg, 1832, Paranuraeopsis quadriantennata Koste, 1974, Proales decipiens (Ehrenberg, 1831), Taphrocampa selenura Gosse, 1887, Trichocerca rosea (Stenroos, 1898), T. ruttneri (Donner, 1953), Tripleuchlanis plicata (Levander, 1894) and Wolga spinifera (Western, 1894). All new records were illustrated and comments were made on selected taxa from the zoogeographical point of view. This survey confirms the fact that Mexico is a transitional region between the two major biogeographic regions in the American continent.
