Amphileptus litonotiformis Song, 1991, p. 300 View in CoL , Figs. 1 View Fig , 2 View Fig .
Material examined. Specimens were collected from the Incheon public waterfront (37°26′N and 126°35′E), Incheon in the Yellow Sea on 2129 Jul 2007 GoogleMaps .
Description. Live cell size 150225 × 5075 μm, rugby ballshaped in outline, beaklike anterior end bent toward dorsal side; body flexible and contractile; laterally compressed at a ratio of about 2: 1; conspicuous longitudinal Fu on right side ( Fig. 1A, B View Fig , EH).
Two Ma connected, leaned on dorsal side of body center, usually detectable in live specimens; each nodule eggshaped, about 22 × 18 μm after fixation; Mi not observed ( Fig. 1H View Fig ). One CV recognized at posterior end ( Fig. 1G View Fig ).
Ex barshaped, slightly curved, about 10 μm long; recognizable in live cells under optimal conditions; distributed in front of oral region; some scattered along Nd ( Fig. 1B, I View Fig ).
Cytoplasm slightly grayish colored, with many brown globules and particles; cortical granules detected on pellicle, densely placed between rows of RSK ( Fig. 1E, G View Fig ). Suture formed on anterior region of right side ( Fig. 1D, F View Fig ). Cirri and membranelles of feeding hypotrichs detect ed after fixation ( Fig. 1J View Fig ). Movement by slow gliding, flexible crawling along substrates, or swimming with slow rotation.
Ciliary pattern typical of Amphileptus ( Fig. 1C, D, F, G View Fig ). Two PK placed around oral slit, PK1 on left, and PK2 on right; kinetid rows more tightly packed than somatic kineties; PK1 contains dense dikinetids in anteri or 1/2, and a continuous row of monokinetids reaching to posterior end; PK2 composed of dikinetids, reaches down posterior. DB situated on dorsolateral area, with dense dikinetids in anterior 2/3, and a continuous row of monokinetids, reaches to posterior end. All somatic kineties composed of monokinetids; 1011 LSK, with PK1 and DB; 2021 RSK, including PK2. Nd well developed.
Distribution. China and Korea (this study).
Deposition. A voucher slide with protargolimpregnated specimens was deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources in Korea (NIBRPR0000107165).
Accession number of SSU rDNA. KX581241KX 581242.
Remarks. Amphileptus litonotiformis was originally described by Song (1991). Characteristics of the Korean population correspond very well with the Chinese population ( Song, 1991) in most respects, such as habitat, body shape and size, the number of nuclei, contractile vacuoles, sutures, somatic kineties. However, the Korean population slightly differs from the Chinese population in the distribution of extrusomes (1/2 of oral region vs. whole oral region).
