En muestras de fitoplancton del embalse Hanabanilla (Cuba Central) se observó el crecimiento masivo de Limnoraphis robusta (Parakutty) Komárek et al. (Oscillatoriales) conocida anteriormente para África, Brasil, Guatemala, India y Norteamérica. Aunque el material cubano coincide en casi todos los caracteres con - , no forma los típicos estratos (mats), sino aparece formando aglomerados (clusters). También la población cubana presenta individuos con menores dimensiones. En el presente trabajo se ofrece la descripción de la población cubana, así como informaciones acerca de su taxonomía, distribución y ecología.

(Oscillatoriales, Cyanobacteria) in the reservoir Hanabanilla (Central Cuba) A filamentous cyanobacteria was observed in plankton samples from Hanabanilla Reservoir (Central Cuba). Based on optical microscopy study, the Cuban specimens correspond with Limnoraphis robusta (Parakutty) Komárek et al. (Oscillatoriales) known from Africa, Brazil, India, Guatemala and North America. According to the literature consulted this taxon was not previously reported from Cuban freshwaters. The colonies of the Cuban population form clusters not the typical mats described for the species. The specimens are also characterized by smaller cells and trichomes. The present paper offers description of the Cuban population and data about its taxonomy, geographical distribution and ecology.
