Description
Summary:Urosomoida sejongensis n. sp. (Fig. 1–2; Table 1) Diagnosis. Size in vivo 75–130 × 20–35 Μm; slender to elongated shape; flexible but not contractile; grayish under low magnification. Contractile vacuole slightly above left of mid-body. 1 micronucleus between two macronuclear nodules. Groups of cortical granules sparsely distributed. Ring-shaped structures in cytoplasm. 17 frontal-ventraltransverse cirri composed of 3 frontal, 1 buccal, 4 frontoventral, 3 postoral ventral, 2 pretransverse ventral, and 4 transverse cirri. 1 left and 1 right marginal cirral row. On average 28 adoral membranelles with undulating membranes in Oxytricha pattern. 4 kineties composed of 3 dorsal and 1 dorsomarginal kineties. 3 caudal cirri. Type locality. Freshwater near the King Sejong Station, King George Island, Antarctica (62°14′22.8′′S, 58°44′40.1′′W). FIGUIRE 1.
