| contents | The Rotifer fauna of Guatemala and Belize: survey and biogeographical affinities Alma Estrella García-Morales Manuel Elías-Gutiérrez Biología Belize rotifera taxonomy diversity Guatemala Rotifer samples were obtained from 29 localities in northern Guatemala and central-southern Belizeduring March 2000 and June 2001. A total of 119 species were identified. Ten selected taxa are illustratedand commented: Euchlanis semicarinata, Lepadella apsicora, L. cryphaea, Lecane curvicornis f. lofuana, L.whitfordi, Monommata maculata, Scaridium bostjani, Trichocerca elongata f. braziliensis, and T. hollaerti. Thespecies Lepadella rhomboidula is a first record for the American Continent. The species are 71 % cosmopolitan,6 % tropicopolitan, and 4.2 % restricted to the subtropics. The Guatemala species number range was Petén-itzalake (53 taxa), and Raxruja pool (three). La Democracia pool (49 taxa), and the Blue Hole sink-hole (six species)were the extremes in Belize. in total, 68 of the recorded taxa are new for Guatemala and 91 for Belize.Additionally, 47 species are registered by the first time in Central America. A comparison between these twocountries and Mexico revealed that the south part of the latter conform a cluster with them, emphasizing thetransitional character of this region between the Nearctics and the Neotropics. Furthermore, Guatemala andBelize have differences in species assemblages, as a response to the nature of their particular environments andtopographical accidents. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (2): 569-584.
