New records of nine ciliates (Protozoa: Ciliophora) from Korea: Brief descriptions and remarks Author Min, Kang-San Kim and Gi-Sik mingisik@inha.ac.kr text Journal of Species Research 2018 7 4 315 322 journal article 10.12651/JSR.2018.7.4.315 2713-8615 13161307 5. Terricirra matsusakai Berger & Foissner, 1989 ( Fig. 5 ) Material examined. Soil sample taken from Wangsan-ri Jung-gu , Incheon , South Korea ( 37°26 ʹ 47 ʺ N 126°23 ʹ 40 ʺ E ) on February 2018 . Diagnosis. Cell size about 80 × 15 μm in protargol preparations, elongated ellipsoidal body shaped, flexible; adoral zone about 25% of body length; contractile vacuole at left mid-body; 4 macronuclear nodules with 2 or 3 micronuclei; 3 frontal and 2 frontoterminal cirri; 1 buccal cirrus; 4 cirri in left of anterior end of amphisiellid median cirral row; 1 pretransverse ventral cirrus and 3 transverse cirri; 1 left (about 26 cirri) and 1 right (about 25 cirri) marginal cirral row; 4 dorsal kineties (including dorsal marginal kineties); caudal cirri lacking. Remarks. The Korean population only differs from the type population ( Japan ) in pretransverse ventral cirri (present vs. absent) ( Berger and Foissner, 1989 ). This species can be separated from Hemisincirra quadrinucleata , by the adoral zone pattern of membranelles (continuous vs. discontinuous) and the number of dorsal kineties (4 vs. 3) ( Berger, 2008 ). Deposition. One voucher slide with protargol-impregnated specimens is deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources in Korea (NIBRPR0000109448).
