Brief description of newly recorded eight ciliate species (Protozoa, Ciliophora) collected from South Korea Author Jung, Ji Hye Kim and Jae-Ho text Journal of Species Research 2019 8 4 380 388 journal article 10.12651/JSR.2019.8.4.380 2713-8615 13161281 4. Hemiamphisiella granulifera ( Foissner, 1987 ) Foissner, 1988 ( Fig. 4 ) Material examined. Terrestrial moss collected from Mt. Odaesan , Yeongok-myeon , Ganungneung-si , Gangwon-do , Korea ( 37°44 ʹ 8 ʺ N , 128°35 ʹ 16 ʺ E ) on 16 December 2017 . Diagnosis. Body size about 120 × 30 μm after protargol impregnation; body elongated elliptical shape; 2 ellipsoidal macronuclear nodules; 1 spherical micronucleus; 29- 36 adoral membranelles; 3 frontal cirri; 1 buccal cirrus; 40-46 cirri in amphisiellid median cirral row; about 5 cirri in right ventral row; transverse cirri lacking; 2(?) caudal cirri; 3 dorsal kineties. Distribution. Korea , Kenya , and Portugal . Remarks. The Korean population of H. granulifera corresponds with the type population, except for the number of right ventral cirri (five vs. three) ( Berger, 2008 ). Regarding the caudal cirri, the number is seemingly two in our population as in the original description by Foissner (1987) ; however, as Foissner (1987) and Berger (2008) mentioned, it is difficult to distinguish from the left mar- ginal row. Voucher slides. Two slides of protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited at National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBRPR0000109478, NIBRPR0000109477).
