A New Marine Interstitial Ciliate from the Northwest Atlantic Coast Tracheloraphis primitarum Sp. N. (Ciliophora, Kinetofragminophora, Karyorelictida, Trachelocercidae)
ABSTRACT A new species of marine interstitial ciliate, Tracheloraphis primitarum sp. n., is described from intertidal sands (160‐200‐μm medium grain size) along the Northwest Atlantic coast. Living specimens are not transparent under incident light, 0.4‐0.9 mm in length, and are characterized by an...
