Diagnosis.
Colony height about 2000 μm; rigid stalk; zooids bell-shaped, measuring 190-225 × 100-110 μm
in vivo
; peristomial lip width 130-140 μm; macronucleus horizontal C-shape; one contractile vacuole dorsally located; rectangular silverline system about 37-42 horizontal striation between peristomial lip and trochal band, about 33-38 striation between trochal band and scopula; haplokinety and polykinety parallel and spiral in counterclockwise direction four and one-half times around peristomial disc; infundibular polykinety 1 (P1) and P2 consisted 3 kineties; P3 composed of more than 5 kineties; P1-P3 1 turn of infundibulum; haplokinety of infundibulum accompanied belt-like filamentous re- ticulum.

(A-C), after protargol (D, E) and ‘dry’ silver nitrate impregnation (F). A. Typical colony. B. Rigid stalk. C. Typical zooid. D. Infundibular polykinety. E. Haplo- and polykinety with macronucleus. F. Rectangular silverline system. Scale bars= 1000 μm (A), 100 μm (C).
Distribution.
Cosmopolitan.
Remarks.
Campanella umbellaria
is common species in eutrophic freshwater environment (
Shi
et al
., 2004
). The main characters for the identification of this species are the four and one-half times turn haplokinety and polykinety on the peristomial disc (
Foissner
et al
., 1992
;
Shi
et al
., 2004
).
Voucher slides.
Two slides of protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited at National Institute of Biological Resources,
Korea
(NIBRPR0000109411, NIBRPR0000109412).
