First record of Nais schubarti Marcus, 1944 (Oligochaeta: Naididae) in the State of São Paulo
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2018•SciELO Brasil
The Oligochaeta (Annelida: Clitellata) is known to have important participation in the aquatic
macroinvertebrates fauna, mainly due to its active participation in the organic matter
decomposition (Esteves et al., 2011). Despite its ecological importance, the knowledge
about this taxon is still incipient (Timm et al., 2001; Gorni et al., 2015). According to Alves et
al.(2008), Petsch et al.(2015), Maroneze et al.(2011) and Ragonha et al.(2014), these
organisms can be found living on sandy substrates or in organic matter enriched …

The Oligochaeta (Annelida: Clitellata) is known to have important participation in the aquatic macroinvertebrates fauna, mainly due to its active participation in the organic matter decomposition (Esteves et al., 2011). Despite its ecological importance, the knowledge about this taxon is still incipient (Timm et al., 2001; Gorni et al., 2015). According to Alves et al.(2008), Petsch et al.(2015), Maroneze et al.(2011) and Ragonha et al.(2014), these organisms can be found living on sandy substrates or in organic matter enriched environments (Behrend et al., 2012). In addition, these organisms are also recorded associated with aquatic macrophytes and leaf litter (Trivinho‑Strixino et al., 2000; Alves and Gorni, 2007; Gorni and Alves, 2007; Oliveira et al., 2014) with sponges (Gorni and Alves, 2008) gastropods (Gorni and Alves, 2006), insect larvae (Corbi et al., 2004) and amphibians (Oda et al., 2015). Recent studies (Gorni et al., 2015) recorded 75 species of aquatic oligochaetes in the State of São Paulo, in which 64 species (85%) belong to the Naididae family. This family stands out as diverse and abundant, being composed of eight subfamilies totalizing about 50% of the oligofauna described on the Earth.(Rodriguez and Reynoldson, 2011). In this article, we report the first record of Nais schubarti Marcus 1944 for the State of São Paulo (Figure 1). Sediment samples were collected by the Water Communities Sector (ELHC) of CETESB, and are part of the Sediment Quality Monitoring Network Project. The specimens were collected in the Paiva Castro reservoir, in the municipality of Franco da Rocha/SP (23 21’13” S and 46 39’56” O). The procedures for sampling, fixation and preparation of the samples followed the Technical Standard CETESB L5. 309 (CETESB, 2003). The species was identified using the taxonomic criteria adopted by Brinkhurst and Jamieson (1971), Righi (1984) and Brinkhurst and Marchese (1989). According to the authors, N. schubarti is described with the following characteristics: length 2.5 mm, diameter of 150 μm with twenty‑five segments. The species has ventral setae of II‑V, 3‑5 per tuft, proximal nodule, distal tooth 2 times longer than proximal; in the following three segments by tuft, distal nodule, teeth of similar length. Dorsal bristles, 1 capillary and 1 acicular spatuliform in the distal third.
