039387D7E148AC6B84F633C6C17052FD.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality. Istanbul Strait's area, Bosporus region, the Black Sea. Type host. Desmoscolex cf. minutus Claparede, 1863. Type material. A hapantotype slide (registration number: No BC- 001) and paratype slide (No BC- 002) have been deposited in the Institute of Marine Biological Research RAS, Sevastopol, RF. Differential diagnosis. The new suctorian species is close related to Loricophrya sivertseni (Allgén, 1951), which epizoic on the nematode worms (Allgén 1951), and Loricophrya tuba (Zelinka, [1913]) found on the shells of echinoderms (Zelinka 1913). They are similar in the shape of stylotheca (especially by absence of pseudo-style), and arrangement of the tentacles at the apical surface of the cell body. At the same time, the new species differs from L. sivertseni by relative development of its body, which takes no more than half, or a third of the lorica length, and by the edge of the lorica, which has no crown-like projections. Also adhesive disk which characteristic for L. sivertseni is absent in L. bosporica. From L. tuba new species differs by considerably shorter stylotheca and prevalence to nematode host instead of echinoderms.	en	Sergeeva, Nelli, Dovgal, Igor (2016): Loricophrya bosporica n. sp.
