Abstract

The article presents sessile ciliates (Ciliophora) found during first studies of biological diversity of the underwater part of the artificial canal, created in the middle of the 20th century on the western shore of the Balaklava Bay (Sevastopol, the Black Sea), and the natural coastal Catherine Grotto (Cape Aya, the Black Sea). In total, 4 species of ciliates were found, one of which Cothurnia ovalis Kahl, 1933, is new not only for Balaklava Bay, but for the Black Sea. Description of the species, their systematic position, morphometric characteristics and information about their distribution are given.
