Abstract
By the moment two species of rotifers of genus Kellicottia inhabit the lakes of Nizhniy Novgorod region: native representative—Kellicottia longispina (Kellicott, 1879) and the American invader—Kellicottia bostoniensis (Rousselet, 1908). The North American rotifer K. bostoniensis is found in the west and the southwest of the Nizhniy Novgorod region. Rotifers of this genus successfully develop mainly in deep reservoirs of different trophic status with waters of a small mineralization. K. longispina does not sustain a competition to the invader. The situation is aggravated with affinity of requirements to environmental conditions of these species.
