Checklist of free-living microturbellarian flatworms (Turbellaria, Platyhelminthes) in the Suquía River Basin, Córdoba, Argentina
Free-living microturbellarians are a part of lentic and lotic aquatic assemblages and play an important but underestimated role in aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, they are not included in studies on the dynamics of freshwater aquatic invertebrate communities. We report eight new records of microtu...

| Summary: | Free-living microturbellarians are a part of lentic and lotic aquatic assemblages and play an important but underestimated role in aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, they are not included in studies on the dynamics of freshwater aquatic invertebrate communities. We report eight new records of microturbellarians from the Suquía River (Córdoba, Argentina):
Catenula lemnae
Dugès, 1832,
Stenostomum arevaloi
Gieysztor, 1931,
Stenostomum
aff.
amphotum
Marcus, 1945,
Macrostomum
aff.
quiritium
Beklemischev, 1951,
Macrostomum platensis
Adami, Damborenea & Ronderos, 2012,
Microstomum
sp., and
Mesostoma erhenbergii
(Focke, 1836). We discuss these results within the geomorphological history of the river basin |
