Abstract:
A soil sample out of a dried rockpool (lithotelma) on a dolomit hill in the Etosha National Park, Namibia, was investigated for possible occurence of rotifers. Besides a numerous and rich microfaunae, e.g. Zooflagellata, Rhizopoda. Acari, Nematoda, Tardigrada and Copepoda, 24 rotifers were found. Until today, four so far unknown Bdelloidea could be described: Dissotrocha decembullata n. sp., Dissotrocha hertzogi aculeata n. ssp., Otostephanos jersabeki n. sp. and Philodina foissneri n. sp. Keywords: Rotifers, taxonomy, new species.
