Abstract

The subclass Peritrichia includes sessile ciliates that attach to aquatic non-living or living substrates. In the case of the latter, they live in a relationship called epibiosis. The genus Epistylis Ehrenberg,1830 is the second-most speciose genus within Sessilida, being characterized by its colonial lifestyle and having a non-contractile stalk. Species of Epistylis have been described from a wide range of aquatic habitats worldwide. The main goal of the present study is to provide a global checklist of the valid species of Epistylis, which may serve as a first step towards a taxonomic review of the genus.

Epistylis 属（纤毛虫，Peritrichia）物种核对表：分类学修订的第一步。

纤毛虫亚类包括附着在水生非生物或生物基质上的无柄纤毛虫。就后者而言，它们的生活关系被称为 "附生"（epibiosis）。Epistylis Ehrenberg（1830 年）属是 Sessilida 属中种类第二多的属，其特点是群居生活方式和具有无收缩的柄。Epistylis 的物种已在世界各地广泛的水生生境中得到描述。本研究的主要目的是提供一份 Epistylis 有效物种的全球核对表，作为对该属进行分类审查的第一步。

期刊介绍： Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
