TABLE 6 in Epibiontic life on intertidal Setaphyes kielensis and S. dentatus (Kinorhyncha, Pycnophyidae) from Sylt, North Sea, Germany, with a description of a new species of Trematosoma (Ciliophora, Acinetidae) and a redescription of Cothurnia buetschlii (Ciliophora, Vaginicolidae)

TABLE 6. Measurements of Cothurnia buetschlii found on male Setaphyes kielensis, collected 2016 and based on preserved specimens. Please note that three specimens were flattened on their basibionts, so the maximal diameter of the lorica has to be interpreted with caution. Abbreviation: n. a., data not available.
