Abstract
Seventy-eight rotifer species are reported from 19 localities in Turkey. About half are first records for that country. Some interesting species are illustrated and the composition of the regional fauna is discussed. Wide-ranging taxa are dominant, with notbale additions of tropical, subtropical, afrotropical and circumboreal species. Many are restricted to saline environments, where some show an unusual vertical distribution. Endemism is suspected in a few taxa.
