Abstract: | The discovery of this species in plankton samples taken at five stations in the Iguazú River and Uruguay River (in a reservoir and an affluent) is reported. Data on the morphology and measurements of individuals collected are shown. This species had previously been registered in Brazil, South America, where it has dispersed widely. The Iguazú River, tributary of the Paraná River, and the Uruguay River could constitute an important dispersal path from Brazilian territory to aquatic environments of Del Plata basin which contains 85% of the freshwater of Argentina. |
