First record of Cladocera (Crustacea: Chydoridae) from Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Southeastern Brazil (original) (raw)

regions with strong marginal spines. Further details are found in Frey (1980). Distribution: Venezuela, Puerto Rico, New Zealand. In Brazil, it is a rather rare animal, occurring in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (Atlântico Sudeste region; Source http://cladocera.wordpress.com). This study presents the first record of the suborder Cladocera from Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, contributing to the knowledge on the local biodiversity, besides increasing knowledge on the fauna of highland-dwelling Crustacea in Brazil.
