Abstract

Current research is a contribution towards the knowledge of testate amoebae (Protozoa, Amoebozoa, Rhizopoda) in Brazilian inland waters, specifically of the genera Cucurbitella, Lagenodifflugia, Pentagonia, Pontigulasia, Protocucurbitella, Suiadifflugia (Difflugiidae), and Lesquereusia, Quadrulella, Netzelia (Lesquereusiidae). In this paper the occurrence and geographical distribution of these genera in Brazil are discussed. A total of 22 infra-generic taxa are recorded, among which 6 belong to the genus Cucurbitella, 5 to Lesquereusia, 3 to Netzelia, 2 to Pontigulasia, 2 to Quadrulella, 1 to Lagenodifflugia, 1 to Pentagonia, 1 to Protocucurbitella and 1 to Suiadifflugia. Pontigulasia compressa (Carter), Lesquereusia spiralis (Ehrenberg), L. modesta Rhumbler and Netzelia tuberculata (Wallich) are species with the greatest number of records in Brazil. Some taxonomic information is also provided
