| Abstract: | Two marine peritrich ciliates, Vorticella fusca Precht (1935) and Vorticella parapulchella n. sp. were discovered in the
littoral zone of Qingdao, northern China. Their morphology, infraciliature, and silverline system were described using live observation and
silver impregnation. The poorly known species V. fusca is redescribed, adding information about the oral infraciliature and pellicular
morphology. Vorticella parapulchella n. sp. is superficially similar to Vorticella pulchella Sommer (1951) but is distinguished from it by
being markedly smaller and having much more widely spaced pellicular ridges. The infundibular infraciliature of V. parapulchella is
extremely unusual in having infundibular polykinety 3 reduced to two rows, one of which has almost disappeared. |
