Abstract

Keratella mexicana is a recently described species, known from a few localities only. Here we present new information on the distribution and morphology of the species based on a survey of 104 water bodies in Central Mexico. The ultra structural morphology of the trophi and lorica of K. mexicana is studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
