Rotifera from the Mediterranean Sea, with description of ten new species Author De Smet, Willem H. text Zootaxa 2015 4028 2 151 196 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4028.2.1 2baa825b-3af6-49ff-896e-f5cb990b4d62 1175-5326 240556 D47167E0-5C14-47F9-B4AA-9E906D13DF89 Encentrum striatum Althaus, 1957 A single specimen of E. striatum was found in psammon from the Côte d’Azur at Îlot de la Fourmigue, 3.5 km off shore, depth 15 m , June, water temperature 16 °C. The species was originally described from psammon of the sea water aquarium at Varna, Black Sea, Bulgaria ( Althaus 1957 ), and reported from psammon of sandy beaches from the North Sea, island Sylt, Germany ( Tzschaschel 1979 ), and from hygropsammon of a saline backwater- pool in the Santa Rosa Sound, Gulf of Mexico , Florida, U.S.A. ( Turner 1990 ). The trophi need redescription as SEM ( Fig. 27 D) shows a more complicated morphology with differences in number of apical rami teeth and preuncinal teeth, and shape of intramallei and supramanubria, that could not be observed by light microscopy ( Althaus 1957 ; Tzschaschel 1979 ). Such a redescription awaits discovery of additional specimens.
