Extract

Lobochona insularum sp.nov., a collar ciliate (Chonotrichida), an ectocommensal on the pleopodal bristles of a gribble from Hawaii, is described. L. insularum differs from the previously described chonotrichidan ectocommensals of the gribbles, L. limnoriae on Limnoria lignorum and Lobochona prorates on Limnoria tripunctata, in the outlines of the body and of the marginal lappets of the collar.

This work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Various facilities were made available by the Allan Hancock Foundation of the University of Southern California.

Acknowledgement is given to Dr Bayard H. McConnaughey, who discovered the organism and prepared the slides.
