The morphology, morphogenesis, and molecular phylogeny of a new ciliate, Aspidisca koreana n. sp., discovered in the eastern coast of South Korea, were investigated. The morphological description is based on the observation of living cells, 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole

We investigate the living morphology, infraciliature, and small subunit rRNA gene sequences of two poorly known marine euplotids, Aspidisca fusca Kahl, 1928 and A. hexeris Quennerstedt, 1869, isolated from intertidal sewage outfall, northern China and
