Taxonomy of Ciliophora. 2. New species of Opercularia, Entziella and Circolagenophrys from the Black Sea and Pacific, and taxonomic notes on other peritrichs (Peritricha)
A.W. Jankowski
Abstract. Three new species of commensal sessilene peritrichs are described from talitrid amphipods Orchestia on the Black Sea shore (Opercularia cema sp. n., Entziella orchestis sp. n.) and from gammarid amphipods Anisogammarus on southern Sakhalin (Circolagenophrys anisogammari sp. n.). Taxonomic notes on some other peritrichs include new combinations, new species for well described but still unnamed forms and designations of type species for several genera.
