Abstract

The morphology and infraciliature of the soil hypotrich ciliate, Gonostomum albicarpathicum nov. spec., collected from Biele Karpaty (White Carpathian Mts.), Slovakia, were investigated using living observations and the protargol impregnation method. This new species is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of characters including arrangement of macronuclear nodules forming a pair of nodules each ahead of and behind mid-body; 6–10 frontoventral cirri and 3 frontoterminal cirri forming a short row; first frontoterminal cirrus separated from the second by a slightly greater distance than between second and third.
