Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the parasitic ciliates on commercial fishes in Luzhou, Sichuan Province, China. Several ciliates were collected from gills of Pelteobagrus fluvidraco. Three trichodinids and one chilodonellid were collected from the gills of the Pelteobagrus fluvidraco. These are Trichodina fluvidraco sp. n., Tripartiella dactylodentata, Tripartieila nana and Chilodonella hexasticha. Descriptions presented here were obtained by examinations of specimens prepared using the dry silver impregnation and Wright-Giemsa staining. For the new species comparisons with closely related species are provided. Key words: Trichodinid, chilodonellid, Trichodina fluvidraco sp. n., Tripartiella dactylodentata, T. nana, Chilodonella hexasticha, Pelteobagrus fluvidraco.
