This paper presents new data on free-living heterotrophic euglenids (Euglenozoa, Protista) that occurred in the marine sediments at Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia. Twenty-nine species from 9 genera are described with uninterpreted records based on light microscopy, including one new taxon: Notosolenus capetribulationi n. sp. There was little evidence for endemism because the majority of heterotrophic euglenid species encountered here have been reported or were found from other habitats.

Through the 'Discovery of Korean Indigenous Species' project hosted by the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), new or unrecorded species of various protozoans inhabiting the Korean Peninsula have been discovered. Samples were collected from marine, freshwater, and soil habitats in South Korea and all species were identified and reviewed by experts working on the respective taxonomic group. This study includes 17 unrecorded Korean protozoan species discovered through this project, which belong to four phyla: Amoebozoa Lühe, 1913, Cercozoa Cavalier-Smith, 1998, Euglenozoa Cavalier-Smith, 1981, and Ciliophora Doflein, 1901. Among them, three families (Rhogostomidae Dumack et al., 2017, Parauronematidae Small and Lynn, 1985, and Cyclidiidae Ehrenberg, 1838) and three genera (Rhogostoma Belar, 1921, Parauronema Thompson, 1967, and Cyclidium Müller, 1773) were reported for the first time in Korea. Unlike the previous paper of 2017, this study provides a comprehensive taxonomic account of each species (e.g., species name, collection site, synonyms, specimen vouchers, diagnoses, and figures). Additionally, all the species were assigned Korean names.

The diversity of heterotrophic flagellates was examined at marine sediments around Cape Tribulation, Australia. The species described belong to the Alveolates, Apusomonadiae, Cercomonadida, Choanoflagellida, Cryptomonadida, Diplomonadida, Euglenozoa incertae sedis, Kathablepharidae, Kinetoplastida, Pedinellids, Stephanopogonidae, Stramenopiles, Stramenopiles incertae sedis, Thaumatomonadidae and Protista incertae sedis. Among the 51 species from 38 genera encountered in this study is one new taxon: Glissandra similis n. sp., and two new names are introduced: Goniomonas abrupta (Skvortzov 1924) nomen nodum and Cercomonas skvortzovi (Skvortzov 1977) nomen nodum. There was little evidence for endemism because most flagellates including one new taxon described here have been reported.

Three marine heterotrophic flagellates from intertidal sediments of Gwang-Am beach and Garorim Bay, Korea were identified as Neometanema parovale Lee and Patterson 2014, Stephanopogon pattersoni Lee et al. 2014 and Thaumatomastix sp. These species are reported taxonomically for the first time from Korea, and are described with illustrations and micrographs. Diagnostics of these species are as follows. Neometanema parovale (Euglenozoa): size in vivo, $10{\sim}23{\mu}m\;long$ with 22 pellicular strips, ingestion apparatus barely visible by light microscopy and two flagella pointed in different directions when moving. Stephanopogon pattersoni (Percolozoa): size in vivo, $20{\sim}33{\mu}m\;long$, with 6 ventral and 1 ventro-lateral ciliary rows, and three barbs. Thaumatomastix sp. (Cercozoa): size in vivo, $14{\sim}17{\mu}m$ with body scales and spines, and two flagella with one naked and one scaled.

본 논문은 유글레나조류의 분류 및 생태에 관한 선행된 연구결과들을 종합 정리하고, 이를 환경교육에 접목하기 위한 것이다. 유글레나조류는 편모가 1-4개이며 다양한 수계에서 플랑크톤으로 생활하는 단세포 미세조류로서, 우리나라 전역에서 채집 조사된 종류는 종 하위 분류군을 포함하여 3목 4과 9속 168 분류군으로 정리된다. Euglena속과 Strombomonas속은 유기물 오염이 심한 도시 하천과 연못 등에 번무하였으며, Trachelomonas, Phacus, Lepocinclis속은 자연늪이나 오래된 연못과 같은 정체 수계에 많이 출현하였다. 유글레나조류의 개체군 크기는 질산염 등의 질소성 영양염과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. Euglena caudata, E. deses, E. ehrenbergii, E. haemichromata, E. geniculata, E. viridis, Lepocinclis ovum, Strombomonas urceolata, Phacus trypanon, Trachelomonas hispida, T. volvocina 등은 주로 겨울과 봄철에 대발생을 하였다. 저자들은 유글레나조류를 환경교육의 적정생물의 하나로 인식하고, 그 기본자료로서 웹사이트(Yahoo. com: Science/ Biology/ Botany/ Phycology /Biology of Green Euglenoids)를 개발하고, 유글레나조류의 출현종과 개체수에 근거하여 수환경을 평가하는 새로운 방안을 제시하였다. 유글레나조류의 분류 및 생태에 관한 충분한 이해에 입각한 수질의 평가는 기존의 물리ㆍ화학적 자료에 근거한 평가와 함께 환경교육의 주요 자료와 정보로 활용할 수 있으며, 수환경을 바르게 이해하는데 크게 기여할 것이다.
