9. Epispathidium amphoriforme (Greeff, 1888) View in CoL
Foissner, 1984 ( Fig. 9 View Fig )
Material examined. Terrestrial moss collected from Mt. Yeonhwasan , Sinbun-ri , Yeonghyeon-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea (N 35°4 ʹ 8.2 ʺ, E 128°13 ʹ 47.1 ʺ) on 4 February 2019 GoogleMaps .
Diagnosis. Body size 110 - 156 × 32 - 49 μm after protargol impregnation (n = 3). Body typical spathidiid shape, i.e. oral bulge moderately spatulate, mid-body slightly swollen. Ribbon-like macronucleus. Three dorsal brush rows; single circumoral kinety; about 45 somatic kineties anteriorly curved and parallel to circumoral kinety. Single contractile vacuole centrally located at posterior end.
Distribution. Austria and Korea.
Remarks. The Korean population of E. amphoriforme is most similar to an Austrian (from Zillertal, Tyrol) population described by Kahl (1930) especially in the number of somatic kineties (about 45 vs. 40 - 50). It is also very similar to another Austrian (from Lower Austria) population described by Foissner (1984) but differs mainly in the number of somatic kineties (about 45 vs. 24 - 38) and the absence (vs. presence) of spindle-like extrusomes ( Foissner, 1984).
Voucher slides. Two slides with protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited at the Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources (NNIBRPR11670, NNI BRPR11671).
