Abstract: A new record of rotatoria in China, Lepadella patella similis Luck was reported. The morphological characteristics were described. The rotifer was (88±2.4) μm in lorica length, (61±2.6) μm in lorica width, and (21±0.73)μm in toe length. New recorder of rotifer resembles Lepadella patella patella externally, but major differences were: 1) Lorica length, lorica width and toe length of L.patella similes were less than that of L.patella patella; 2) Lorica concave was hexagon in shape; 3)Shape of foot orifice close to convex or ellipse. The rotifer often distributed in saline waters and small aquarium.
