Abstract
Some Rotifera of the General Invertebrates Collection of the Academy o f Natural Sciences of Philadelphia are reported upon. Based on this ma terial and on the examination of newly collected specimens, two new sp ecies, Lecane gallagherorum n.sp. and Scaridium neglectum n.sp. are de scribed, while Lecane pycina Harring & Myers and Trichocerca mucosa (S tokes) are redescribed and reinstated as valid morphospecies. Lecane s olfatara Hauer is redescribed. Lecane pideis Harring & Myers, Lepadell a myersiana Voigt and Monommata arndti Remane are recognized as junior synonyms of Lecane rhopalura Harring & Myers, Lepadella venefica Myer s and Monommata actices Myers, respectively. Three Rotifera, Colurella paludosa Carlin, Lepadella costatoides Segers and Trichocerca siamens is Segers & Pholpunthin are newly recorded from the USA.
