Abstract :A number of records of rotifers from Turkey are discussed. An account is given on trophi morphology in 4 species of Asplanchna Gosse, 1850. Cephalodella segersi De Smet, 1998 is recorded for the second time after its description, and Lecane shieli Segers and Sanoamuang, 1994 is recorded from Turkey for the first time. Both these and a population of Hexarthra polyodonta polyodonta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hauer, 1957); from the species’ type locality, Lake Van, are illustrated using light and scanning electron microscopic techniques.
