| Summary: | Ancyromonas sigmoides Kent 1880 (Figs 3l–m) Observation: Gliding flagellate. Cell outline is oval. Cells are 3 to 5 µm long and dorso-ventrally flattened. The cells have a shallow groove ventrally near an anterio-lateral margin of the cell. The cells have a thin stiff anterior flagellum emerging from an anterior depression. The anterior flagellum can be easily overlooked and beats slowly. The posterior flagellum is about 1.5 times the cell length and may not be acronematic. The cells move by gliding with the posterior flagellum trailing. Commonly observed. Remarks: Previously reported lengths range from 2 to 7.6 µm. This species has been reported from marine sites in Antarctica, Australia, Arctic Canada, Denmark, Fiji, Gulf of Finland, Greenland, Hawaii, Eastern Pacific (hydrothermal vent) and Panama (Larsen and Patterson 1990; Vørs 1992a, b; Ekebom et al. 1996; Tong 1997a; Tong et al. 1997; Tong et al. 1998; Atkins et al. 2000; Bernard et al. 2000). The observations are in agreement with those of previous ... : Published as part of Lee, Won Je, 2015, Small Free-Living Heterotrophic Flagellates from Marine Sediments of Gippsland Basin, South-Eastern Australia, pp. 53-76 in Acta Protozoologica 54 (1) on page 64, DOI: 10.4467/16890027AP.15.005.2192, http://zenodo.org/record/10994295 ... |
