Description
Summary:Ephelota gemmipara (Hertwig, 1875) Report as epibiont on bryozoans: Jankowski (2007) mentioned that the Ephelota gemmipara (Hertwig, 1875) was reported on marine bryozoan. Report as epibiont on other hosts: Ubiquitous species, observed at inanimate substrates, algae, hydroids, bryozoans, etc. (Dovgal 2013; Tazioli & Di Camillo 2013).This species was also found as epibiont on various co-pepods eg., Calanus finmarchicus (Gunnerus, 1765), Candacia armata (Boeck, 1872), Pleuromamma borealis (F. Dahl, 1893) and P. gracilis (Claus, 1863) (Steuer1928; Fernandez-Leborans & Tato-Porto 2000b). Santhakumari (1985) reported this species as epibiont on various copepods and commented that this suctorian was found infesting chiefly the postero-dorsal region of cephalothorax. Santhakumari (1986) reported this species as epibiont on the zoea of pea crab Porcellana sp. According to Sawyer et al. (1976), more than a dozen species of Ephelota have been reported from body surfaces of algae, bryozoans, hydrozoans, and ... : Published as part of Chatterjee, Tapas & Dovgal, Igor, 2020, A checklist of ciliate epibionts (Ciliophora) found on bryozoans, pp. 547-559 in Zootaxa 4896 (4) on page 548, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4896.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/4387921 ...
