The aim of this note is to rectify the description of Notodiaptomus spinuliferus n.sp. described by Dussart and Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986, from the material collected in Ilha Solteira Reservoir, São Paulo State during the expedition carried out in the 1979 in the project: Typology of reservoirs of São Paulo State (Tundisi, 1981). Dussart and Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986, described a new species of Calanoida from Ilha Solteira Reservoir as Notodiaptomus spinuliferus, However the figures associated were not of the new species but they were of Notodiaptomus deitersi from the material collected in the Pantanal region (MT, Brazil). The original figures of Notodiaptomus spinuliferus were presented in Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986, without however its diagnose description.

Figure 1 refers to drawings of different parts of Notodiaptomus spinuliferus presented in Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986, and the microscopic photography of 5th leg of male of the specimen from Rosana Reservori (SP).


Figure 2 refers to the drawings of Notodiaptomus deitersi presented in Dussart and Matsumura-Tundisi, 1986 as Notodiaptomus spinuliferus (a) and the microscopic photography of 5th leg of male of Notodiaptomus deitersi from Barra Reservoir (SP)


In further limnological studies carried out between 1999 to 2003 in 220 water bodies located in 22 hydrographic basin of São Paulo State (BIOTA/FAPESP Project, 2003) it was observed the occurrence of Notodiaptomus spinuliferus in several reservoirs of Paranapanema basin (Represas: Rosana, Taquaruçu, Capivara, Jurumirim, Salto Grande). Notodiaptomus deitersi was registered in Paiva Castro Reservoir (Higher Tietê River basin), Ibitinga Reservoir (Tietê/Jacaré basin), Porto Raso Reservoir and Barra Reservoir (Ribeira do Iguape basin).
