Abstract

We firstly report three stichotrichs, Metaurostylopsis cheni Chen, Huang & Song, 2010, Gonostomum strenuum (Engelmann, 1862) Sterki, 1878, and Lamtostyla granulifera Foissner, 1997, collected in South Korea. We investigated these ciliates based on observations of live and protargol-impregnated specimens.
