We also recorded several species (or genera) common to tropical inland waters such as Brachionus spp., K.tropica, T.decipiens, B.longirostris, c.cornuta, Moina, and D.brachyurum associated with oligotrophic and (hyper)eutrophic en¬vironments. Chaoborid larvae also are very common in the tropical freshwater zooplankton (Infante 1988; Pinto-Coelho 1998).
