Heterohartmannula Pan & Lin & Gong & Al-Rashied & Song 2012, GEN. NOV.
Description
GENUS: HETEROHARTMANNULA GEN. NOV.
Diagnosis: Dorsoventrally flattened Hartmannulidae with a tail-shaped podite; two circumoral kineties distinctly detached, obliquely arranged in a line with fragmented preoral kinety.
Type species: Heterohartmannula fangi sp. nov. All measurements in Mm. Abbreviations: CV, coefficient of variation (%); EF, equatorial fragment; FvK, frontoventral kineties; Max, maximum; Mean, arithmetic mean; Min, minimum; N, number of specimens; SD, standard deviation; TF, terminal fragment.
Etymology: The prefix ‘hetero’ indicates that the new genus is different from the well-known genus Hartmannula; feminine gender.
Remarks: The family Hartmannulidae is characterized by: presence of podite, left kineties as a continuous field and macronucleus heteromerous (Deroux, 1976c; Corliss, 1979). The genus Heterohartmannula corresponds well to these features. Thus it belongs to Hartmannulidae.
Compared with other related genera in Hartmannulidae (e.g. Aegyriana, Brooklynella, Chlamydonyx, Hartmannula, Orthotrochilia, Trochilioides), the oral ciliature of Heterohartmannula gen. nov. is unique: the circumoral kineties are detached and obliquely arranged in a line (vs. closely arranged as equal marklike), and the preoral kinety is composed of several (e.g. two to four) distinctly detached fragments (vs. single and continuous) (Deroux, 1976c; Song & Wilbert, 2002; Song, 2003; Gong & Song, 2004b, 2006). These differences support the establishment of a new genus.
