A new urostylid ciliate, Anteholosticha petzi n. sp., isolated from the northern China seas, was studied using live observation and protargol impregnation. It differs from all the congeners mainly in the highly flexible and variable body shape, its red-brown to brick-red colour, and the possession of three types of cortical granules. Analysis of morphometric and molecular data confirm the validity of A. petzi as a distinct species. Anteholosticha petzi n. sp. is characterized as follows: by having 3 frontal, 1 buccal, 2 frontoterminal, 2 pretransverse, and 8-11 transverse cirri; a midventral row that comprises 10-16 cirral pairs and extends ca. 60% of cell length; and 3 bipolar dorsal kineties. Ontogenesis is similar to that in Anteholosticha warreni except for the formation of the oral primordium and is characterized by: (1) the parental adoral membranelles are completely renewed and the oral primordium is formed de novo; and (2) the anlagen for the frontal-ventral-transverse cirri are formed as primary primordia. The small subunit rRNA gene sequence of A. petzi n. sp. was also compared with that of its congeners with the sequence differences ranging from 0.39% to 8.62%. Phylogenetic trees based on the SSU rRNA gene sequence were constructed, indicating the nonmonophyly of the genus Anteholosticha, as supported by the approximately unbiased test.
