Redescription of Lindia gravitata with comments on L. tecusa (Rotifera: Monogononta: Lindiidae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2005
Abstract
Lindia gravitata, previously considered a synonym of L. tecusa by several authors is redescribed. Body shape and trophi structure show that both species are closely related, and unequivocally differentiated by e.g. toe shape, number of sensory papillae, and shape of subunci and epipharynx. Other related, but insufficiently described congeners are listed. The diagnostic features of the subgenus Halolindia are discussed.
