RECORDS OF THE HAWAII BIOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR 1995 19<br />

studied. (Hope 1987 incompletely synonomizes the rotifers listed in Weber 1906). This<br />

paper updates the nomenclature and references for rotifers known from the <strong>Hawaii</strong>an<br />

islands, and comments on selected rotifer species.<br />

Weber (1906) was the first to record rotifers in the <strong>Hawaii</strong>an Islands as a result of<br />

Monsieur le Dr. W. Volz’s voyage to Sumatra, Java and the Sandwich islands in 1902. The<br />

next opportunity to identify rotifers from the region arose from samples taken on the journey<br />

of Professor Schauinsland to Samoa and Oahu in 1908 and examined by Richters. A<br />

few years later, James Murray identified the rotifers collected by the Shackelton Antarctic<br />

Expedition of 1909. Finally, Josef Hauer identified the rotifers found in collections taken<br />

on the Wallacea-Expedition. The correct nomenclature for the species found is listed with<br />

synonyms in Table 1.<br />
