5. Trithigmostoma bavariensis (Kahl, 1931) Foissner View in CoL ,
1987 ( Fig. 1E)
Diagnosis. Body size approximate 125 × 25 μm in protargol preparations; body shape broadly ellipsoidal, anterior body end curved leftward, flattened dorsoventrally; flexible. 1 macronuclear nodule at centre of body. Cytoplasm colourless. Movement, without any peculiarities, sliding on soil surface. Conspicuous longitudinal gap between postoral ciliary rows.
Remarks. This is the first record of the genus Trithigmostoma in Korea. Trithigmostoma bavariensis has a conspicuous gap between postoral ciliary rows in the body centre compared to congeners. For instance, T. cucullulus lacks the gap. In addition, the innermost right ciliary row of T. bavariensis is shorter than the oth- er rows.
Voucher slides. Two slides, including protargol-impregnated specimens (DC4), were deposited at the National Institute of Biological Resources in Korea (NIBR PR0000107207, NIBRPR0000107208).
