Description of Anteholosticha rectangula ( Figs 1–3 View Figs 1 View Figs 2 View Figs 3 ; Table 1)

Diagnosis: Size in vivo 70–140 × 20–30 μm. Body rectangular, colorless, flexible, and slightly contractile. Four to eight macronuclear nodules; two or three micronuclei. Contractile vacuole in left mid-body. Colorless cortical granules arranged along dorsal bristles and cirri; spherical to slightly ellipsoidal, 0.5–1.0 μm in diameter in vivo. On average 21 adoral membranelles, 24 right marginal, 25 left marginal, 18 midventral which terminates at about mid-body, and 7 transverse cirri. Invariably three frontal, one buccal, two frontoterminal, and one pretransverse cirri. Three bipolar dorsal kineties with two dikinetids in front of the right marginal cirral row. Caudal cirri lacking.

Type locality: Surface soil layer partially covered by moss, King George Island, maritime Antarctica (S62°14’28.56” W58°44’52.88”). Daily records of temperature showed a range of 2.4–6.5°C in January 2013 GoogleMaps .

Type material: One holotype slide ( NIBRPR0000106624 ) and two paratype slides ( NIBRPR0000106625 , NIBRPR0000106626 ) including protargol-stained specimens have been deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources ( NIBR) , South Korea. Two additional paratype slides ( ACNS000273 About ACNS , ACNS000274 About ACNS ) of the protargol-stained specimens have been deposited in the Korea Polar Research Institute ( KOPRI) . Circles marked on the bottom of the slides indicate the relevant specimens. The SSU rDNA sequence of type population has been deposited in the GenBank under the accession number KU175624 .
