Description
Material examined. Terrestrial soil collected from Jibyeon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea (N 37°46 ʹ 26 ʺ, E 128°52 ʹ 15 ʺ) on 26 February 2019.
Diagnosis. Size about 100 × 30 μm in vivo (n = 3). Body cylindroidal to elongate bursiform. Cytoplasm colorless. Extrusomes lacking. Contractile vacuole terminal. Minute cortical granules arranged in rows between ciliary rows. Two globular macronuclear nodules with a micronucleus in between. 10 - 12 ciliary rows, two anteriorly differentiated into isostichad dorsal brush occupying about 23% of body length and composed of widely spaced dikinetids.
Distribution. Venezuela and Korea.
Remarks. The genera Coriplites and Apocoriplites are characterized by the absence of the extrusomes (Foissner, 2016). Apocoriplites is a monotypic genus. Thus A. lajacola can be compared only with the species belong to the genus Coriplites, which are characterized by having three brush rows (Oertel et al., 2008).
Voucher slides. Two slides with protargol-impregnated specimens were deposited at the Nakdonggang National Institute of Biological Resources (NNIBRPR11660, NNI BRPR11661).
