This study has been concentrated on morphological taxonomy of bdelloid rotifers in Taiwan from 2004 to 2005. There were 718 samples that collected from various freshwater habitats and mosses in Taiwan Island. After the detailed comparison of external morphology was made, 14 species of 5 genera in 2 families were identified. They are: (1)Family Adinetidae: Adineta vaga minor Bryce, 1893; (2)Family Philodinidae: Dissotrocha aculeata (Ehrenberg, 1832), Dissotrocha macrostyla (Ehrenberg, 1838), Macrotrachela insolita de Koning, 1947, Macrotrachela nana(Bryce, 1912), Philodina acuticornis odiosa Milne, 1916, Philodina erythrophthalma Ehrenberg, 1832, Philodina megalotrocha Ehrenberg, 1832, Philodina rapida Milne, 1916, Philodina roseola Ehrenberg, 1832, Rotaria citrina Ehrenberg, 1838, Rotaria neptunia (Ehrenberg, 1832), Rotaria rotatoria (Pallas, 1766), Rotaria tardigrada (Ehrenberg, 1832). All these are cosmopolitan and not endemic species of Taiwan. Among the 14 species, 7 species are new records to Taiwan.
