Biodiversity of Nearctic inland water: discovery of the genus Heterorotula (Porifera, Spongillida, Spongillidae) in the Appalachian Mountains, with biogeographical implications and description of new species


	Disjunct biogeographic pattern of genus Heterorotula (Porifera, Spongillida, Spongillidae) with enclaves in Nearctic and Neotropical regions. The Nearctic H. lucasi sp. nov. from Tennessee is indicated in red. Heterorotula multidentata is considered an alien species in Japan.
