One hundred Tasmanian aquatic habitats were surveyed for Rotifera in Spring 1985. Of 130 species identified, 63 were first records for Tasmania, 17 new to Australian anf four (Brachionus lyratus tasmaniensis ssp. nov., Lepadella tana sp. nov., Cephalodella lindamaya sp. nov., and Testudinella mucronata tasmaniensis ssp. nov.) new to science, bringing to approximately 200 the rotifers known from the island. New taxa are described and figured; several of the first records for Australia also are figured, and ecological and zoogeographical pecularities of the Tasmanian Rotifera are discussed.
