160. Euplotes parawoodruffi Song and Bradbury, 1997 [ Kwon et al., 2007]: Estuarine (salinity unknown). Dai et al. (2013) suggested that E. parawoodruffi as a junior synonym of E. woodruffi . However, the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene similarity matrix of Dai et al. (2013) showed rela- tively higher intra-specific variations (maximum of 0.8%) than the congeneric inter-specific ones that might suggest a presence of sibling species within the group E. woodruffi - E. parawoodruffi . Therefore, here we refrain to synonymize these species.
