Abstract
- This study presents the first record of Chantransia macrospora in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil. Analyses of periphytic algae revealed C. macrospora individuals associated in particular with shells of Melanoides tuberculatus, a non-native species, suggesting that C. macrospora have been introduced into systems associated with the gastropods. In this context, new records of C. macrospora are still expected for the Brazilian semi-arid region in the next years. Este trabalho apresenta o primeiro registro de Chantransia macrospora do estado do Rio Grande do Norte na região do semiárido no nordeste do Brasil. Análises das algas perifíticas revelaram indivíduos de C. macrospora associados especialmente com conchas de Melanoides tuberculatus, uma espécie exótica, sugerindo que C. macrospora tenha sido introduzida nestes sistemas associados com o gastrópode. Neste contexto, novos registros de C. macrospora ainda são esperados para a região semiárida do Brasil nos próximos anos.
