Morhological record of three soil ciliates (Ciliophora) from Korea Author Lee, Sue Yeon Author Yoo, Jung Sun Author Kim, Seung Tae text Journal of Species Research 2017 6 110 113 http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13161685 journal article 10.12651/JSR.2017.6 2713-8615 13162017 3. Gonostomum singhii Kamra et al. , 2008 ȇḍ각ŦÜAEệ (ljḡ) ( Fig. 1 K-O) Material examined. Soil (pH 6), Moonkyung , Gyeongsangbuk-do province , South Korea ( 36°41 ʹ N 127°57 ʹ E ), collected by Gi-Sik Min in July 2016 . Diagnosis. Size approximately 80 × 30 μm in impregnat- ed specimens. Body shape elongated ellipsoid, anterior part narrower than posterior part. Undulating membrane typical of Gonostomum . Two macronuclear nodules, two or three micronuclei. Three frontal cirri, two frontoterminal cirri, one buccal cirrus, two frontoventral cirral pairs, two thin pretransverse ventral cirri arranged almost vertically, and four transverse cirri. Approximately 10 left and 15 right marginal cirri. Three dorsal kineties with three caudal cirri. Remarks. The Korean population of G. singhii can be distinguished from G. lajacola based on the number of frontoventral cirral rows (two vs. three), paroral cilia (on average 11 vs. 23), and transverse cirri (four vs. five) ( Foissner, 2016 ). Distribution. Australia , India , Venezuela . Deposition. Two voucher slides with protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources in Korea (NIBRPR0000107264, NIBRPR0000107265). Identifiers. Kang-San Kim and Gi-Sik Min.
