A substantial fraction of the freshwater available in Neotropical forests is enclosed within rosettes bromeliads that form small aquatic islands a terrestrial landscape. These oases provide shelter, water, nutrients and resting aggregation sites for several organisms, among them crustaceans. However, comparison with multitude studies on open systems, our knowledge crustaceans inhabiting semi-te...

Based on its soft-part morphology, especially the exceptionally preserved limbs and presence of lateral eyes, it is assigned to the myodocopid myodocopes. The ostracod is very la...
