“…Compared with M. marina, the type species, M. flavicana, has an elongate elliptical (vs oval) body outline, dark reddish to yellowish (vs colourless to greyish) cell colour and bright yellow (vs colourless to greenish) cortical granules, lacks a midventral row (vs midventral row present in M. marina) and has fewer (two vs three to six) frontoterminal cirri (Song et al, 2001). …”

“…Morphogenesis has been reported in varying levels of detail for M. marina, Metaurostylopsis rubra and Metaurostylopsis sinica (Song et al, 2001;Wilbert & Song, 2005;Shao et al, 2008a) and the phylogeny of M. rubra, Metaurostylopsis salina and Metaurostylopsis struederkypkeae was discussed by Yi et al (2008) based on small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequence data.…”

Characterization of two urostylid ciliates, Metaurostylopsis flavicana spec. nov. and Tunicothrix wilberti (Lin & Song, 2004) Xu et al., 2006 (Ciliophora, Stichotrichia), from a mangrove nature protection area in China , isolated from the Shenzhen Mangrove Protection Area on the coast of the South China Sea, were investigated using live observation and protargol impregnation techniques. Metaurostylopsis flavicana is characterized by its elongate body shape, yellowish body colour and bright-yellow cortical granules that are either grouped around the cirri and the dorsal cilia or aligned between the rows of cirri and dorsal cilia. It has four to eight frontal, two frontoterminal, one buccal and seven to ten transverse cirri, a mid-ventral complex comprising 13-17 midventral cirral pairs in a row that extends about three-fifths of the body length, four left and three right marginal rows and three complete dorsal kineties. The small subunit rRNA gene of this species was sequenced and phylogenetic trees were constructed in which M. flavicana does not group with its congeners, suggesting that the genus Metaurostylopsis is paraphyletic. Some supplementary morphological and morphogenetic traits for Tunicothrix wilberti are also documented.

The morphology and phylogeny of two hypotrichous ciliates, Metaurostylopsis parastruederkypkeae n. sp. and Neourostylopsis flavicana (Wang et al., 2011) Chen et al., 2013 were investigated based on morphology, infraciliature and the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA gene (rRNA) sequence. The new species, M. parastruederkypkeae n. sp. was identified according to its characteristics: body shape ellipsoidal, size about (165-200) × (45-60) µm in vivo, cell color reddish; two types of cortical granules including wheat grain-like and yellow-greenish larger ones along the marginal cirri rows and dorsal kineties and dot-like and reddish smaller ones, grouped around marginal cirri on ventral side and arranged in short lines on dorsal side; 26-41 adoral membranelles; three frontal and one parabuccal, five to seven frontoterminal, one buccal, and three to six transverse cirri; seven to thirteen midventral pairs; five to nine unpaired ventral cirri, five to seven left and three to five right marginal rows; and three complete dorsal kineties. Phylogenetic analysis based on SSU rDNA sequences showed that both Metaurostylopsis and Neourostylopsis are monophyletic. As the internal relationship between and within both genera are not clear, further studies on the species in these two genera are necessary. The key characteristics of all known twelve Metaurostylopsis-Apourostylopsis-Neourostylopsis species complex were updated.

The morphology and divisional morphogenesis in a Chinese population of Neobakuella aenigmatica Moon et al., 2019 are reinvestigated. The body size, number and arrangement of parabuccal cirri and development of nuclear nodules in this population are discussed in comparison with closely related genera. The 18S rRNA gene sequence of the Chinese population is identical to that of a Korean population, supporting a distant relationship between N. aenigmatica and the cluster of N. flava and Apobakuella fusca. We deduce that this may be caused by the differences in the pattern of the parabuccal cirri and the number of parabuccal rows which are important for the phylogeny of Bakuella-like species.
