Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to increase the knowledge on testate amoebae in Brazilian inland waters, specifically the family Arcellidae (Protozoa, Amoebozoa, Rhizopoda). In this paper the current occurrence and geographical distribution of this family in Brazil is discussed. A total of 26 infra-generic taxa was recorded, among them 24 taxa belong to the genus Arcella and 2 to Pyxidicula. Arcella vulgaris Ehrenberg, A. gibbosa Pénard, A. megastoma Pénard, A. dentata Ehrenberg, A. discoides Ehrenberg, A. brasiliensis Cunha and A. crenulata Deflandre were the species with greater number of records. Some taxonomic information is also provided
