Introduction
At present the Ukrainian rotifer fauna is investigated insufficiently in comparison with that of West
Europe. The whole list of rotifer species from class Bdelloidea found in Ukraine includes 84 species and
subspecies of 10 genera and 3 families.
Detailed accounts on the rotifer fauna (planktonic species mostly) of the Middle and South Ukraine
are those of N. V. Voronkov (1915), N. N. Fadeev (1929), V. S. Travyanko (1968), M. L. Pidhaiko (1984),
V. V. Polishchuk (1977). Commensal rotifer species from gill cavities of Astacus astacus are described in
E. G. Boshko (1989) paper. Only Donner’s (1971) paper contains some information on soil bdelloid rotifers
of this region. Rotifers inhabiting terrestrial mosses and lichens were studied in Transcarpathian region and
Bukovina (Bartoš, 1959; Rudescu, 1960) but publications on the subject for the central and south parts of
Ukraine are absent. It should be noticed, that bdelloids, especially terrestrial, are quite unsufficiently investi-
gated in Ukraine. Of special interest is also studying of rotifers living in tree hollow reservoirs.
Therefore, the aim of our work was addition of information on the Ukrainian rotifer fauna and to con-
tinue investigation of terrestrial rotifers in the Central and South Ukraine.
For the preliminary study we’ve chosen several Ukrainian reserves where rotifer fauna was not properly
examined before. The samples were collected in the Kanev Natural Reserve environs (Cherkassy region) and
"Kam'yanni mohyly" branch of the Ukrainian Steppe Reserve (Donetzk region). Some samples of dry moss
from "Granitno-Stepove Pobuzh'a" landscape park (Nikolayev region) were kindly provided by
M. V. Tarashchuk (Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the Ukrainian Nat. Akad. of Sci.). We also ob-
N. S. Yakovenko 12
tained some samples from tree-hollow reservoirs (“Roztoch’chya” reserve in Lviv region and Goloseevsky
park in Kiev)and dry moss samples from Carpathian reserve.
Materials and methods
Investigations in Kanev reserve (I) were carried out during summer of 1996. Periphyton and benthos
samples from small temporary reservoirs, some soil and aerophytic mosses growing on stones, tree trunks and
earth were taken. Sampling in the “Kamyani mohyly” (II) was performed during August of 1997, both in
steppe (soil samples) and on the granitic slabs (mosses and lichens), and some benthos and periphyton sam-
ples from the Kara-Tysh river were obtained. Samples from "Granitno-Stepove Pobuzh'a" landscape park
(III) are exclusively terrestrial (mosses, lichens and soil).
The samples of periphyton and bottom sediments were collected by the 0.25—0.5 l glass vessels. A
glass tube 15 mm in diameter was also used for bottom sampling. Periphyton and sediments were examined
without preserving directly after they had been obtained. Moss patches taken were about 6×6 cm. Iron sam-
pler we applied for soil examining (volume of soil sample was 7×7×10 cm). Soil, mosses and lichens were
dried up at the room temperature and stored in paper packets for some months, then they were wetted and
studied. For the isolation of rotifer trophi we used 10% water solution of KOH. Total number of samples
processed is 100 (88 from I, 9 from II, and 3 from III).
Identification of bdelloid rotifers is based on keys by Bartoš (1959), Voigt (1956—57) and Donner
(1965). Classification of bdelloids is taken from Melone and Ricci (1995) and Donner (1965).
Results
We have found 53 species and subspecies of bdelloid rotifers altogether. Among
them, 23 species and 9 subspecies were not recorded in Ukraine before. We give short
redescriptions of nine species of rotifers from Class Bdelloidea new in Ukrainian
fauna.
ORDER PHILODINIDA
Family Habrotrochidae
Genus Habrotrocha Bryce, 1910
Habrotrocha elegans (Milne, 1886) (fig. 1)
Ma t e r i a l . (1) About 4 spec/cm2, Cherkassy region, Kanev, Kanev reserve environs, highway side,
moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Bryol. eur. + Bryum argenteum Hedw. 14.06.96 (Yakovenko). (2) Ibid.,
Kanev reserve environs, concrete slab, moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Bryol. eur. (very dry sample),
18.07.96 (Yakovenko). Both samples are taken in high-insolated places.
Diagnos i s . Body spindle-shaped, colourless and transparent. Cuticle thin,
smooth, without any humps, spines or sculpturation (excepting cuticular folds along
the body). Eyespots are absent. Rostrum massive, a specimen from the first sample
had rather long one (fig. 1, 1, 2). Two semicircular rostrum lobes. Neck long, wide.
Dorsal antenna length as one third of neck breadth. Head rectangular. Corona high
(about a half of whole head height), as wide as head is. Pedicels erect, loose. A papilla
in the centre of each coronal disc. Upper lip blunt triangular with tip rounded and
covers a half of narrow sulcus. Foot short, of three segments (?). Spurs short, diverge,
conical and sharp; breadth of interspace vary. Jaws small, with sharp lateral angles and
a great number of delicate teeth. Eggs were not found.
Measurements . About 280 mcm long.
Remark . Specimens found had no case and were freeswimming. Sometimes,
however, H. elegans builds cases from detritus (Donner, 1965). In contradiction to
description and image by Bartoš (1959, p. 146—147) any specimens found had no co-
rona with pedicels bent to the dorsal side. Our animals have papillae clearly seen in
the middle of each ciliary disc. Donner (1965) considers this species insufficiently de-
scribed.
New for the fauna of Ukraine rotifers (Rotifera, Bdelloidea)… 13
H. elegans inhabits dry and wet mosses,
sphagnum, soil and forest litter, it is also found
between water plants, as epioic on water arthro-
pods and in the gill cavities of Astacus. Numerous
finds through the South and West Europe (includ-
ing mountain regions) and in New Zealand are
known (Koniar, 1955; Voigt, 1956—1957). In
Ukraine it was not recorded earlier.
Habrotrocha pavida Bryce, 1915 (fig. 2)
Ma t e r i a l . (1) Cherkassy region, Kanev, Kanev reserve grounds, asphalt, moss Ceratodon purpureus
(Hedw.) Brid. (the same samples where above – mentioned H. elegans was found), 18.07.96 (Yakovenko).
(2) Ibid., Kanev reserve environs, highway side, moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Briol. eur. + Bryum
argenteum Hedw., 14.06.96 (Yakovenko).
Diagnos i s . Body spindle-shaped, transparent, colourless or bluish. Cuticle thin,
its trunk part covered with wavy folds. Any humps, spines or sculpturation are absent.
Rostrum short with two small semicircular lobes. Dorsal antenna twice as shorter as
neck breadth. Head rectangular or in the form of an inverted trapezium. Corona
lengthways one half of whole head and one third broader than cingulum. Pedicels

erect, loose. A papilla in the centre of each coronal disc. Upper lip small, trapezium-
shape, covers from one half to two thirds of the narrow sulcus. Upper lip rim elon-
gated laterally and ventrally so that its corners are seen when observing dorsal side of
animal (fig. 2, 2, 3, 5). Foot small, consists of three segments. Spurs small, diverge,
conical and sharp, with interspace about double spur-breadth. Eyespots are absent.
Jaws large. Teeth well developed, their number varied from 5/5 (fig. 2, 6, specimen
from the first sample; in one jaw a delicate tooth before five strong ones) to 3+1 deli-
cate tooth/4 (fig. 2, 7, specimen from the second sample). Stomach pills big and of
regular shape. Egg round with smooth shell.
Measurements . Body length: creeping about 250 mcm, feeding about
175 mcm.
Remark. We observed only freeliving animals. According Donner (1965),
H. pavida also makes gelatinous or detrital cases.
In Ukraine species is found for the first time. Records are known from the West,
South and Central Europe and North America (moss, lichens, soil, needle and leaf
litter) (Voigt, 1956—1957, Bartoš, 1959).
Habrotrocha plana (?) Milne, 1916 (fig. 3)
Ma t e r i a l . 1 specimen, Cherkassy region, Kanev, Kanev reserve environs, shallow drying-up reservoir,
submerged leaves of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, 24.05.96 (Yakovenko).
Diagnos i s . Body spindle-shaped, pinkish. Cuticle thin, transparent, without
sculpturation, humps or spines. Head
rounded. Corona of average size, as wide as
head. Pedicels erect, loose, about one third
of whole head height. Sulcus not very wide
(as one pedicel breadth). Papillae on the disc
surfaces lacking. Upper lip triangular, obtuse
and covers a half of sulcus. Middle part of
the body expanded, rather suddenly tapering
off along the rump. Foot massive, of four (?)
segments. Spurs fairly long (their length is
equal to spur segment breadth), massive, di-
verge and sharp, without interspace. Eyespots
are absent. Jaws semicircular, teeth well de-
veloped (dental formula 2/2, in one jaw a
thin tooth before two strong ones). Stomach
pills small.
Measurements . Body length about
280 mcm.
Remark . According Donner (1965, p.
54, a drawing from Milne, 1916) H. plana
has small sulcus, very narrow spur segment
and small spurs whereas our specimen has
not. Probably we could deal with some other
related species.
Previously H. plana was found in rupes-
tral and terrestrial mosses and soil in Africa
and former Czechoslovakia (Bartoš, 1959).
In Ukraine it is recorded for the first time.

Ma t e r i a l . About 3 spec/cm2, Donetzk region, "Kamyani mohyly", granitic slabs, southern exposition,
soggy moss (Atrichum sp.), 25.08.97 (Yakovenko).
Diagnos i s . Body transparent and colourless. Sculpturation is absent except nu-
merous folds along the body. Cuticle smooth, delicate. Narrow cuticular hump along
the first foot segment (fig. 4, 8—11). Rostrum not very long, with two triangular or
semicircular lobes (fig. 4, 1, 5, 10). Neck long. Head rectangular or square. Corona a
little broader than head and neck. Pedicels erect and connected with membrane till a
half of their length. Upper lip covers about one fourth of sulcus, triangular and blunt.
Trunk slim, gradually turning into swollen rump. Foot very short, slender. Spurs of
average length, with or without interspace (fig. 4, 3, 7), diverge. Eyespots are absent.

Jaws large with numerous delicate teeth. Some specimens had various numbers of
strong teeth: 5/6 (fig. 4, 2), 4/4 (fig. 4, 6), 2/2 (fig. 4, 10). Eggs were not found.
Measurements . Body length: about 95 mcm retracted.
Remark . In Ukraine O. cuspidilabris is found for the first time. Previously it is
known from Netherlands (sphagnum) (Voigt, 1956—57).
Otostephanos donneri (?) Bartoš, 1959 (fig. 5)
Ma t e r i a l . 2—3 specimens. (1) Cherkassy region, Kanev reserve environs, shallow drying-up reservoir,
between duckweed (Lemna trisulca L.), 18.07.96 (Yakovenko). (2) Ibid., 8.08.96 (Yakovenko).
Diagnos i s . Body small, transparent, colourless (stomach brightly red-brown).
Cuticle smooth, with longitudinal folds on the trunk and rump. Rostrum short, with
two semicircular lobes and long cilia. Foot short. Spurs needle-shaped with roots swol-
len, its length equals double breadth of spur segment. Eyespots are absent. Jaws with
numerous delicate teeth.
Remark . We failed to see stretched corona despite of observing living animals
during long time and decided to attribute these specimens of Habrotrochidae family to
O. donneri because of the distinctive spur form.
In Ukraine species is found for the first time. Formerly it is known from Ger-
many, Romania, New Zealand and former Czechoslovakia (for example, on the lower
side of Potamogeton natans leaves) (Bartoš, 1959).

Otostephanos monteti Milne, 1916 (fig. 6)
Ma t e r i a l . 1 specimen, Cherkassy region, Kanev reserve environs, bank of small reservoir, wet moss
(Drepanocladus aduncus Monk, 1.07.96 (Yakovenko).
Diagnos i s . Body massive, transparent, colourless (stomach yellow-brown, vitel-
larium nuclei red-brown). Cuticle of the trunk very fine granulated. Any spines or
humps are absent. Rostrum short, with two elongated angular lobes. Neck wide, mas-
sive. Head rectangular, its height: breadth being as 1:2. Corona rather high, pedicels
erect, connected with membrane at the roots; sulcus narrow and in the middle of it a
ligula is seen (fig. 6, 1, 2). Upper lip triangular, blunt, covers about two thirds of sul-
cus. Esophagus straight. Stomach pills of regular shape. Trunk sharply separated from
rump gradually turning into the slender short foot. Spurs small, thin, pointed; inter-
space is equal to a spur breadth. Eyespots are absent. Dental formula 8/8. Eggs are not
found.
Measurements . Body length: creeping 210 mcm, feeding 170 mcm.
Remark . According to Milne’s description (kindly given by Dr. Örstan),
O. monteti has plump body and very long dorsal antenna whereas our specimen has
not. We however might not succeed to observe whole stretched antenna. In my opin-
ion, rotifer found is similar to that depicted by Donner (Donner, 1965, p. 97; Voigt,
1965—57, Taf. 114, 2).
The species is first recorded for Ukraine. Formerly O. monteti was found in Swit-
zerland, Romania, Austria, South Africa and former Czechoslovakia. In moss and on
the lower side of Potamogeton natans leaves (Voigt, 1956—1957).
ORDER ADINETIDA
Family Adinetidae
Genus Adineta Hudson and Gosse, 1886
Adineta gracilis Janson, 1893 (fig. 7)
Ma t e r i a l . (1) 1 specimen, Cherkassy region, Kanev, Kanev reserve environs, shallow drying-up res-
ervoir, submerged leaves of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, 24.05.96 (Yakovenko,). (2) About 5
spec./cm2, Nikolayev region, "Granitno-Stepove Pobuzh'a", rupestral mosses and lichens, 23.08.97 (Tarash-
chuk). The first sample had been stored about three weeks at the room temperature before identification was
performed, so that the leaves begun decaying.
Diagnos i s . Body small, slim, transparent and colourless. Humps, spines or
sculpturation are absent except numerous folds along and across the body. Cuticle
delicate, smooth. Oval head with wide, rounded rostrum. Rostrum lobes lacking. Foot
slender and as about one fourth of the body length. Spurs short, conical, diverge and
sharp. Interspace large, convex. Toes very small. Eyespots are absent. Dental formula
2/2, lumen with a loop. Eggs are not found.
Measurements . Total length about 190 mcm
Adineta gracilis is known to dwell in lakes, running waters, bogs as well as dry
aerophytic moss, forest litter and soil through the Western Europe and in South Af-
rica, Antarctica, Northern and Southern America, New Zealand and the Pacific is-
lands (Bartoš, 1959). First found in Ukraine.
Adineta rhomboidea Berzins, 1950 (fig. 8)
Ma t e r i a l . 4—5 specimens. Cherkassy region, Kanev, Kanev reserve environs, reserve grounds, as-
phalt, moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid., 18.07.96 (Yakovenko) Along with A. vaga.
Diagnos i s . Body about 300 mcm, transparent and colourless. Neck segment
swollen with a pair of small rotating bodies on each side of the dorsal antenna. Rump
N. S. Yakovenko 18
with two sharp protrusions on right and left sides (“rhombic”). Spurs sharp, with par-
allel sides, half as much again long as bearing joint breadth (see fig. 8, 2, 3, comparing
with A. vaga from the same habitat). Eyes lacking. Eggs are not found.
The species is first found in Ukraine. Described from Sweden (A. vaga rhom-
boidea Berzins, 1950, but Dr.Örstan considers it a distinct species), specimens were
found in Sphagnum (Voigt, 1956—1957).
Adineta steineri Bartoš, 1951 (fig. 9)
Ma t e r i a l . 3—5 spec/cm2, Donetzk region, "Kamyani mohyly", southern exposition, wet rupestral

Author have found 53 species and subspecies of Class Bdelloidea in poorly investigated biotopes of five Ukrainian reserves (Kanev natural reserve, ”Kam’yani mohyly”,”Roztoch’chya”,”Granitno-Stepove pobuzh’a”,Carpathian reserve). 23 of them proved new for the Ukrainian fauna. Redescriptions and drawings of nine bdelloid species of families Adinetidae and Habrotrochidae new for Ukraine are presented in the paper. These are Habrotrocha elegans (Milne), H. pavida Bryce, H. plana (?) Milne, Otostephanos cuspidilabris de Koning, O. donneri (?) Bartoš, O. monteti Milne, Adineta gracilis Janson, A. rhomboidea Berzins, A. steineri Bartoš. В настоящее время в фауне Украины насчитывают 84 вида и подвида коловраток (из 10 родов 3 семейств), относящихся к классу Bdelloidea. В мало- или недостаточно изученных в отношении Rotatoria местообитаниях (донные осадки, обрастания, наземные мхи, почва, поверхность тела водных членистоногих) пяти заповедных территорий Украины (Каневский природный и Карпатский заповедники, Каменные могилы, Расточье, Гранитностепное Побужье) автором найдены 53 вида и подвида бделлоидных коловраток, из которых 23 новые для фауны Украины. В данной статье приводятся краткие переописания и рисунки 9 видов из семейств Adinetidae, Habrotrochidae : Habrotrocha elegans (Milne), H. pavida Bryce, H. plana (?) Milne, Otostephanos cuspidilabris de Koning, O. donneri (?) Bartoš, O. monteti Milne, Adineta gracilis Janson, A. rhomboidea Berzins, A. steineri Bartoš. I wish to thank Dr V. I.
