Abstract

Nupela potapovae sp. nov., a distinctive new species from ponds and small lakes in the Rocky Mountains of western North America, is described and compared with similar species. In the central area under light microscopy, the new species displays four refractive spots that correspond to shallow internal depressions adjacent to the proximal raphe endings. Nupela potapovae shares this feature with N. rhetica (Wuthrich) Lange-Bertalot, a lentic alpine species from Switzerland.
