Abstract

During the study of the diversity of free living protozoan ciliates from the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, two free-living flagellates were identified, namely Rhabdomonas costata (Korshikov) Pringsheim, 1951 and Entosiphon sulcatum Skvortzov and Noda 1969. Brief description, based on live observation and silver stained preparations has been provided for both species. The attempt to stain the specimens using the silver staining technique resulted in impregnation of the nuclear apparatus and flagella rendering easy morphological measurements and studying variations.
