Notes

New habitats of Paramecium primaurelia, P. triaurelia, P. tetraurelia, and P. novaurelia are recorded from Spain. P. biaurelia and P. sexaurelia had previously been found in this area. The species of the P. aurelia complex present in Spain differ in the frequency of their occurrence and distribution. P. primaurelia dominates the other species, i.e. P. biaurelia, P. novaurelia, P. tetraurelia, P. triaurelia, and P. sexaurelia, as far as the number of designated clones and investigated habitats are concerned.
