Notes

Paramecium nephridiatum Gelei, 1925, was rediscovered. It is a euryhaline brackish-water species that morphologically resembles Paramecium woodruffi, but with multiple contractile vacuole pores. The general morphology, morphometry, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprint patterns are presented for a number of the stocks collected around the world.
