Based on the taxonomic survey to uncover the ciliate diversity in the eastern Kangwon-province, twenty-six species were identified from moss-covered soils and assigned to 5 classes, 9 orders, 12 families, and 15 genera. Of these, fifteen species are first records from Korea, and brief remarks with photographs were provided.

Two pleurostomatid ciliates, Amphileptus litonotiformis Song, 1991 and Kentrophyllum setigerum (Quennerstedt, 1867), were collected from the coastal waters of Korea. Their morphologies are described based on live observation and protargol impregnation, and their diagnoses and morphometrics are provided. Additionally, sequence information of small subunit ribosomal RNA obtained from two species were reported.

We collected two unrecorded Colpoda species - C. cucullus $M\ddot{u}ller$, 1773 and C. inflata (Stokes, 1885) Kahl, 1931 from Jeju-do Province (Sarabong Park, $33^{\circ}31^{\prime}N$ $126^{\circ}32^{\prime}E$) in November, 2014. We described these species based on observations of live and impregnated (protargol and silver nitrate impregnation) specimens.

원생동물에 속하는 부유성 섬모충류는 해양 생태계 내에서 저차와 고차생산단계를 잇는 먹이 사슬의 중간역할을 하며 그 분포가 수온과 밀접한 관계가 있어 수괴 지표 종으로써 수괴분석과 해류분석에 이용되고 있는 생물이다. 이 부유성 섬모충류는 피갑을 갖는 유종섬모충류(tintinnids)와 피갑을 갖고 있지 않는 무갑섬모충류(naked ciliates)로 구분된다. (중략)

We investigated five ciliate species from soil, estuary and marine habitats in eastern Gangwon-do Province, South Korea. Morphology was studied through observation of living specimens as well as silver preparations. The species were classified into five genera, five families, five orders and four classes. Aspidisca aculeata, Hemiurosoma similis, Litonotus alpestris, Stentor roeselii and Vorticella infusionum are first records in Korea, and among them, the genus Hemiurosoma is recorded for the first time. Here, we provide short descriptions with microphotographs of these species.

The morphology of the two marine urostyloid ciliates, Pseudokeronopsis carnea (Cohn, 1866) and Uroleptopsis citrina Kahl, 1932, in the family Pseudokeronopsidae, collected from the Yellow Sea, and the East Sea, Korea, respectively, were studied using live observation and protargol impregnation. Additionally, the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene was sequenced. These two species are firstly recorded in Korea. The main diagnostic key is as follows. Pseudokeronopsis carnea: body outline elongate-elliptical, brown-reddish or orange-red in colour in vivo; bicorona of 16-24 frontal cirri; one buccal and two frontoterminal cirri; 7-10 transverse cirri; 5-7 dorsal kineties; two types of cortical granules (one orange-red pigment, mainly grouped around cirri and dorsal bristles, arranged in typical rubra-pattern; the other, colourless and blood-cell-shaped, and densely distributed); contractile vacuole in the posterior half of the cell on the left side, usually in posterior 1/3-2/5. Uroleptopsis citrina: body outline elongate-elliptical, lemon-yellow in colour in vivo; two types of cortical granules (one yellow pigment; the other, blood-cell-shaped, densely distributed); bicorona of 12-18 frontal cirri; 2-3 frontoterminal cirri; two midventral rows comprising 26-35 cirri (consisting of anterior paired cirri, non-paired single cirri, and posterior paired cirri); three dorsal kineties. In addition, the SSU rRNA sequences of the two species were compared with public database of these species and consequently, showed high similarity.

Two urostyloid ciliates, collected from brackish water in Korea, were identified as Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra (Kaltenbach, 1960) Berger, 2006 and Pseudokeronopsis flava (Cohn, 1866) Wirnsberger, Larsen and Uhlig, 1987. The description was based on living, protargol impregnated specimens. These species are described as follows: Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra: body size in vivo $145-230{\times}40-60\;{\mu}m$, elongated ellipsoidal in shape. Cytoplasm reddish and flexible. Adoral zone of membranelles occupied 30-40% of the body; composed of 33-44 membranelles; 1-3 frontoterminal cirri, 1-4 frontal row cirri, 4-6 buccal cirri, 6-10 transverse cirri. Midventral rows composed of 14-24 cirri, four left marginal rows, one right marginal row. Two kinds of cortical granules; the larger one is yellowish and the smaller one is reddish. Pseudokeronopsis flava: body size in vivo $150-210{\times}30-45\;{\mu}m$, elongated ellipsoidal shape. Cytoplasm yellowish and flexible. Adoral zone of membranelles occupied 25-30% of body; composed of 44-58 membranelles in number. Frontal cirri forming bicorona composed of 5-7 cirral pairs, 2-3 frontoterminal cirri, one buccal cirrus, and 2-3 transverse cirri. Midventral rows composed of 18-33 cirri, 34-53 left marginal cirri, and 40-58 right marginal cirri. Two kinds of cortical granules; the larger one is colorless and "blood-cell-shaped," and the smaller one is yellowish. Diaxonella pseudorubra pseudorubra is different from the most similar subspecies, D. pseudorubra pulchra, in cytoplasmic color and number of midventral cirri. Pseudokeronopsis flava is different from its most similar congeners in pigment granular color, number of bicorona, number of midventral cirri, and position of the contractile vacuole.

해안의 소나무 아래 토양과 하수처리장 폭기조에서 채집된 섬모충이 각각 Oxytricha balladyna와 O. longa으로 동정되었다. 이 종들은 한국에서 처음 보고 되는 것으로 생체표본과 protargol로 염색한 표본에 근거하여 재기재하였다. 유사 종들과 비교한 결과 Oxytricha balladyna는 한 개의 소핵이 두 개의 대핵사이에 위치하고. 5개의 후방극모, 3개의 미극모, 5열의 등쪽섬모열이 있으며 세포질에 granule이 없다. O. longa는 소핵이 각각 대핵 부근에 한 개씩 위치하며, 3개의 postoral ventral cirri가 직선상으로 배열하며 후방극모 (transverse cirri)와 멀다. 4개의 후방극모, 2개의 미극모와 4열의 등쪽섬모열이 있으며 특히 세포질에 Yellow-green granules이 관찰되어 특이하였다.

울산 인근의 하수처리장에서 채집된 섬모충류가 겹가지섬모충과(Epistylidae)에 속하는 원반겹가지섬모충 (Epistylis chrysemydis)과 겹가지섬모충 (Epistylis entzii)으로 각각 동정되었다. 이 종들은 DIC 현미경을 이용하여 생체관찰하였으며, Protagol로 염색하여 세부형질을 관찰하였다. E. chrysemydis는 위구부의 위구순에는 2개의 bulge가 있으며, 섬모열은 위구부에서 11/2바퀴를 돌고, 1개의 수축포는 배쪽에 위치하며, 줄기가 텅 비어 있는 형태이다. 구부막판 1과 3의 끝이 구부막판 2보다 길다. 반면에 E. entzii는 위구부의 위구순에는 1개의 bulge가 있으며 섬모열은 위구부에서 11/4-11/3바퀴를 돈다. 수축포는 등쪽에 위치하며 줄기는 꽉 찬 형태이다. 구부막판 1과 2의 끝이 구부막판 3보다 길다. 이종들은 한국에서 처음 보고된다.
