Abstract Eighteen freshwater bodies in Songkhla Province, southern Thailand were investigated for rotifers of the genus Lecane. A total of 23 species were identified. The majority of species found were cosmopolitan (43%) or tropicopolitan (39%). The rest were oriental (9%) and palaeotropical (9%). The most common species was L. bulla (61% of the plankton samples taken), while L. aculeata, L. arcula, L. blachei, L. stenroosi and L. tenuiseta were rare (only found once). The greatest species diversity was found in Khlong-Hla reservoir (14 species).
