Resumen:
Faunistic analysis from the lakes Zirahuen, El Bordito, Cuitzeo and Zacapu (State of Michoacan, Mexico) revealed the presence of 110 rotifer taxa. 9 genera and 29 species are new to Mexico. The new records are: Cephalodella megalocephala (Glascott, 1893); C. globata (Gosse, 1887); Cupelopagis vorax (Leidy, 1857); Eothinia elongata (Ehrenberg, 1832); Lecane bifurca (Bryce, 1892); L. decipiens (Murray, 1913); L. elegans Harring, 1914; L. leontina (Turner, 1892); L. monostyla (Daday, 1897); L. nodosa Hauer, 1938; L. ruttneri Hauer, 1938; L. ungulata (Gosse, 1887); Lepadella astacicola (Hauer, 1926); L. benjamini Harring, 1916; L. ehrenbergi (Perty, 1850); Lindia ecela Myers, 1933; Macrochaetus subquadratus (Perty, 1850); Monommata diaphora Myers, 1930; Notommata cerberus (Gosse, 1886), N. copeus Ehrenberg, 1834; Proales sordida Gosse, 1886; Resticula gelida Harring and Myers, 1922; R. nyssa Harring and Myers, 1924; Sinantherina ariprepes Edmonson, 1939; S. semibullata (Thorpe, 1889); Sphyrias lofauna (Rousselet, 1910); Testudinella incisa (Tarnetz, 1892); Tetrasiphon hydrocera Ehrenberg, 1840 and Trichocerca musculus (Hauer, 1935). Notommata tripus Ehrenberg, 1838 earlier observed from Mexico, but not illustrated, has been depicted in the present study. Comments to diagnostic characteristics and the zoogeographical distribution of the new rotifer taxa are given. All new records have been illustrated.
