Abstract

Suctorian ciliates are common epibionts on marine and freshwater invertebrates. In the present study, three epibiont suctorian ciliate species, viz. Praethecacineta halacari Schulz, 1933, Thecacineta calix (Schroder, 1907), and Thecacineta cothurnioides Collin, 1909, are reported. Hence, P. halacari was observed on the ventral side of the idiosoma and legs of halacarid mite Copidognathus brachystomus Viets, 1940 and ventral side of Copidognathus tabellio (Trouessart, 1894). T. calix was reported on halacarid mite Maracarus gracilipes (Trouessart, 1889) – a new host species for the ciliate. T. cothurnioides was found on two different harpacticoid copepod specimens. The species T. cothurnioides is recorded from Turkish coast for the first time. T. calix is reported from Antalya for the first time. Finding of P. halacari is the first record for Izmir area. The data on distribution of all registered suctorian species are provided as well.
