                 , Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, Korea (37° 54 ʹ 24.6 ʺ N, 128°49 ʹ 41.7 ʺ E) on May 15, 2023  . 
            </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. Size 76-78 × 42-49 μm after protargol impregnation (n = 3); body bean-shaped; cortex rigid; peristomial spur and projections along left margin on ventral side lacking (Fig. 1A); anterior adoral zone of membranelles (AZM1) about 4 μm long with 4 membranelles, posterior adoral zone of membranelles (AZM2) about 24 μm long after protargol impregnation and with 15- 18 membranelles; invariably seven frontoventral cirri in  “ polystyla -arrangement”; five transverse cirri, cilia of each transverse cirrus not separated (Fig. 1A); four dorsal kineties with 25-28, 18-22, 19-23, and 22-24 dikinetids in dorsal kineties 1-4, respectively (Fig. 1B); dorsal kinety 1 distinctly curved to right posteriorly and ends near posterior end of dorsal kinety 2 (Fig. 1C); two ellipsoid macronuclei, micronucleus not observed (Fig. 1D). </p>
            <p>Distribution. Germany, South Korea</p>
            <p> Remarks. The Korean population of  Aspidisca major corresponds with the German population redescribed by Kahl (1932) in all available aspects.  Aspidisca major is a special species among the congeners in having two macronuclei (Fig. 1D). Because of this feature,  A. major ,  A. binucleata Kahl, 1932 ,  A. fusca Kahl, 1928 , and  A. mutans Kahl, 1932 can be easily distinguished from other members of the genus  Aspidisca . However,  A. major differs from  A. binucleata in the number of frontoventral cirri (7 vs. 9).  Aspidisca mutans differs from  A. major by the number of frontoventral cirri (12 vs. 7) and the number of transverse cirri (7 vs. 5) (Kahl, 1932).  Aspidisca fusca differs from  A. major by the presence of a peristomial spur (present vs. absent) (Wu and Curds, 1979). Considering the arrangement of frontoventral cirri, number of membranelles in AZM1 and the presence of peristomial spur, the Korean population of  A. major is similar to  A. steini however, they differ mainly in the number of macronuclei (two vs. one) and larger body size (76-78 × 42-49 μm vs. 20-35 × 15-27 μm) (Wu and Curds, 1979; Song and Wilbert, 1997). </p>

                 water (salinity 36.1‰, temperature 16.8℃) collected from Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea (34°49 ʹ 16 ʺ N, 128°26 ʹ 27 ʺ E) on April 17, 2023  . 
            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis. Size 68-77 × 49-58 μm after protargol impregnation (n = 3); body oval to ellipsoidal with brick-reddish color; body flexible and slightly contractile; adoral zone of membranelles occupies about 50% of body length; 36-44 adoral membranelles; 1 buccal cirrus; 3 frontal, 8-9 frontoterminal, and 5-6 transverse cirri; 13- 16 midventral pairs and a midventral row with about 8-12 cirri, extending to the midline of body; 10-12 left and 6-7 right marginal rows (Fig. 2A); three dorsal kineties (Fig. 2B); and about 70 macronuclear nodules.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Antarctic, South Korea</p>
            <p> Remarks. The Korean population of  Metaurostylopsis rubra is similar to the type population of  M. rubra described by Song and Wilbert (2002) in most features except for the slightly non-overlapping number of midventral pairs (13-16 vs. 8-11) and left marginal rows (10- 12 vs. 6-9) (Song and Wilbert, 2002).  Metaurostylopsis rubra can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the cell color and the number of midventral pairs and left marginal rows (Fig. 2A). Since the number of living cells were not enough to examine in detail, we cannot determine whether the reddish color of the cells is due to the reddish cytoplasm or the cortical granules. Among the congeners, there is no species with more than six right marginal rows (Song et al., 2020). Also, only two species,  M. struederkypkeae and  M. parastruederkypkeae Lu et al., 2016 , have reddish body color like  M. rubra , but they differ from the present Korean population by the number of right marginal rows (3 vs. 3-5 vs. 6-7) (Shao et al., 2008b; Lu et al., 2016; Song et al., 2020). </p>
