Vasichona opiliophila n.sp., an ectosymbiotic ciliate (Chonotrichia; Exogemmida) on the maxillae of the snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio

Vasichona opiliophila n.sp. is described from the basal endites of the maxillae of the snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio. This is the first report of these chonotrich ciliates from the Northwestern Atlantic. The genus Vasichona Jankowski, 1972 is redefined and the genus Cryptochona Jankowski, 1973 is c...
