16. Aegyria oliva Claparède and Lachmann, 1859 View in CoL

( Fig. 16 View Fig )

Material examined. Marine water (salinity 29‰) collected from Anin Beach , Gangdong-myeon , Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea (37°44 ʹ 4.7 ʺ N, 128°59 ʹ 24.2 ʹ E) on June 7, 2018 .

Diagnosis. Body size about 96 × 49 μm after protargol impregnation; body shape oval to roughly sigmoid; dark pigment spot on anterior left part; anterior left protrusion absent; single ellipsoidal macronucleus; about 42 somatic kineties; 1 preoral kinety; 3 circumoral kineties; about 7 transpodial segments; 30 nematodesmal rods.

Distribution. China, Germany, Korea.

Remarks. Aegyria oliva is similar to A. apoliva Chen Li, Al-Farraj, Ma and Pan, 2018 . The former is, however, different from the latter by the anterior left protrusion (absent vs. present), the numbers of somatic kineties (about 42 vs. 48-69) and transpodial segments (7 vs. 9-13) ( Gong et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2018).

Voucher slide. One slide of protargol-impregnated specimens was deposited at National Institute of Biological Resources, Korea (NIBRPR0000109436).
