Hawaiian Records of Folliculinids (Protozoa) from Submerged Wood

Abstract

To folliculinids in Hawaii, taken from naturally submerged objects (Halofolliculina annulata, Ascobius simplex, Metafolliculina andrewsi) and from submerged glass-plate panels (Metafolliculina nordgardi, Parafolliculina violaceae) , are added those from Douglas fir panels riddled by subsistent teredines and Limnoria: Eufolliculina lignicola, Mirofolliculina limnoriae, and Lagotia viridis. Variations in loricae and moniliform nuclear components are illustrated and discussed.
