9B7F1C72FFA67018BF1809A00C23FA04.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In this study, the genus Gruberia is firstly reported from Korea. Gruberia calkinsi is similar to G. beninensis Dragesco and Dragesco­Kernéis, 1986 with respect to cell size and form of macronucleus (Al­Rasheid, 2001). However, G. calkinsi can be distinguished from the G. beninensis population redescribed by Al­Rasheid (2001) in the number of adoral membranelles (273 ­ 441 vs. 130 ­ 170).	en	Park, Mi-Hyun, Min, Gi-Sik (2016): Morphological reports of four ciliates (Ciliophora) from coastal marine and brackish water habitats in Korea.

9B7F1C72FFA77018BC9F0AC70DBFF985.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dysteria crassipes can be clearly distinguish­ ed from its congeners by the difference of the number of right kineties (Gong et al., 2007). The morphology and infraciliature of this population correspond well with those of the Chinese isolate reported by Gong et al. (2007).	en	Park, Mi-Hyun, Min, Gi-Sik (2016): Morphological reports of four ciliates (Ciliophora) from coastal marine and brackish water habitats in Korea.

9B7F1C72FFA7701BBF760AA70F3CFDD2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Zosterodasys agamaliev was originally described by Deroux (1978) as the type species of the genus Zosterodasys. Although Z. agamaliev and Z. transversus (Kahl, 1928) are very similar, they can be distinguished in habitats (marine vs. freshwater) (Vd’ačný and Tirjaková, 2012).	en	Park, Mi-Hyun, Min, Gi-Sik (2016): Morphological reports of four ciliates (Ciliophora) from coastal marine and brackish water habitats in Korea.
