초록
During a field survey of Korean ciliates, we collected four newly recorded species from different habitats, namely, Apokeronopsis sinica Liu et al., 2009; Diophrys japonica Hu, 2008; Neokeronopsis asiatica Foissner et al., 2010; and Pseudoamphisiella lacazei (Maupas, 1883) Song, 1996. The morphology of these species was investigated based on the observation of living cells, protargol-impregnated specimens and in scanning electron microscope. In this study, we provide a brief diagnosis, remarks, and photomicrographs for each species. Furthermore, we studied the phylogenetic position of P. lacazei because the Korean population has pretransverse cirri (vs. lacking in the authoritative Chinese population).
