Abstract
The cladoceran Moina dumonti Kotov, Elías-Gutiérrez & Granado-Ramírez, 2005 (Anomopoda: Moinidae) was found in a hypereutrophic lagoon, Lagoinha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It represents the first record of this species in Brazil and in the Southern Hemisphere; it also represents the first record of this species in a perennial lagoon. The reasons for the success of the species in Lagoinha are discussed.
