“…Our research concurs with studies by other authors (Giard, 1888;Fauré-Fremiet, 1936;Grimes, 1978;Baccarani & Pessani, 1997;Fernández-Leborans & Herrero--Córdoba, 1997) in suggesting that P. paguri specialised in recognising hermit crabs as a substrate through the chemical components released by its host. Epibiont distribution, in fact, is not random among hermit crab species: P. paguri is commonest on Pa. er.…”

“…As concerns lorica size, our measurements are in line with the dimensional range observed by Fauré-Fremiet (1936), whereas they are smaller than those reported by Fernández-Leborans & Herrero Córdoba (1997). In contrast, our measurements of cell sizes are about 1/3 smaller than those obtained by Fauré-Fremiet (1936).…”

“…In contrast, our measurements of cell sizes are about 1/3 smaller than those obtained by Fauré-Fremiet (1936). We can assume that these morphological differences may be due to the optical instrument used for measuring or, as suggested by an anonymous referee, to our rearing conditions, which may have caused changes in size.…”

“…They were identified at species level according to Fauré-Fremiet (1936) and Hadzi (1951). Since all the loricae adhering to the crustaceans showed the same morphology and dimensional range as those occupied by the live specimens, we assumed that they all belonged to the same species.…”

“…We can assume that these morphological differences may be due to the optical instrument used for measuring or, as suggested by an anonymous referee, to our rearing conditions, which may have caused changes in size. Alternatively, these differences may be due to the geographically different sampling areas (French coast of the Atlantic Ocean, see Fauré-Fremiet, 1936). Similar differences, in fact, were reported for the red-water ciliate Mesodinium rubrum (Crawford, 1993), where an increased cell diameter and some morphological variation of the "oral" zone were observed, depending on the geographical origin.…”

The present research aims at broadening the range of possible Pebrilla paguri hosts, by analysing various Mediterranean hermit crab species, as well as at investigating their preferential distribution on the crustacean body. For each crab carrying P. paguri on its exoskeleton, the position and number of the ciliate's loricae were recorded and mapped. Pebrilla paguri loricae were observed only on 16.6% of the hermit crabs examined, with a greater number being observed on Calcinus tubularis and Paguristes eremita, compared to the two other crab species. A reason for this may be that the former are not very active in feeding, motion, and interaction. The highest frequency of P. paguri was observed on the abdomen, telson, and uropods, whereas only a few were found on the cephalotorax. This localisation is discussed in relation to the epibiont's preference for parts of the crab's body that are normally kept deep inside the molluscan shell and characterised by scarce water flow and illumination. These conditions will promote bacterial proliferation and accumulation of the organic residuals, which will become available for P. paguri as food. The preferential distribution of ciliates on the left side of the crab's body can be seen as a way to avoid damage by rubbing against the shell's columella.

The living morphology and infraciliature of a heterotrichous ciliate, Folliculinopsis producta (Wright, 1859) Fraur&Fremiet, 1936, which was collected from the north coast of China, were investigated by in vivo observation and protargol impregnation techniques. As a new contribution, a redescription is presented: large Folliculinopsis of green to dark green in color, 800-1500t~m in size; two peristomial lobes of approximately equal size, 300-400t~m in length; adoral zone of membranelles containing about 1000 membranelles, lying along lobe margins and exhibiting two circles within buccal cavity; 50-70 somatic kineties in mid-body; macronucleus miniliform, consisting of about 20 beads; lorica smooth, vase-shaped, (300 500)t~m× (90-130)#m in size, with 5-12 spiral ridges on neck tube; marine habitat.
