23. Zoothamnium parahiketes Sun, Ji, Song and

Warren, 2009 ( Fig. 23 View Fig )

Material examined. Marine water (salinity 29.6‰) collected from Anin Beach , Gangdong-myeon , Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea (37°44 ʹ 4.7 ʺ N, 128°59 ʹ 24.2 ʺ E) on May 24, 2018 GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. Colony height 300-500 μm; stalk dichoto- mously branched; zooid elongated bell-shaped, measuring 60-80 × 25-30 μm in vivo; double-layered peristomial lip width 34-38 μm; horizontal C-shaped macronucleus; one contractile vacuole dorsally located; transverse silverlines 49-63 striations between peristomial lip and trochal band, about 21-32 striations between trochal band and scopula; two epistomial membranes; P1-3 consisted 3 kineties; P3 slightly separated inner row and outer 2 rows.

Distribution. China, Korea.

Remarks. Zoothamnium parahiketes is different from Z. hiketes Precht, 1935 in the number of silverlines between the peristomial lip and trochal band (49-63 vs. 89-109) and between the trochal band and scopula (21-32 vs. 35- 43), and a gap between of inner row and outer two rows of P3 (present vs. absent) ( Sun et al., 2005; Ji et al., 2009). Voucher slides. Two slides of protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited at National Institute of Biological Resources, Korea (NIBRPR0000109473, NI- BRPR0000109474) and the two slides were deposited at the National Marine Biodiversity Institute of Korea (MABIK PR00043200, PR00043201).
