Introduction
Suctorian ciliates are largely sessile forms. The majority of suctorians are commensals of various water
invertebrates including both marine and freshwater mites (Dovgal, 2002).
The representatives of several groups of water mites were indicated as suctorian hosts (Precht, 1935;
Matthes, 1956; Matthes et al., 1988; Bartsch, 1998; Dovgal, 1996; Gelmboldt, Dovgal, 2005). The majority
of such finds were at the marine halacarid mites.
Hence the Acineta sulcata Dons, 1928 was found on halacarides mainly although was reported also at
the seed shrimps (Kahl, 1934). It should be pointed out that the same species was found in 2005 (Dovgal,
unpublished data) at the unidentified freshwater oribatid mite from river Unava (Fastov region, Ukraine).
The species Limnoricus ceter Jankowski, 1981 was described from marine isopods and halacarid mites
(Jankowski, 1981). However only on halacarid mites were found the Praethecacineta halacari (Schulz, 1933)
and Thecacineta allgeni (Jankowski, 1981). Seemingly the two latter species are specific to the marine mites.
Only one suctorian species, Tokophrya wenzeli Matthes et Stiebler, 1970 was previously renowned from
freshwater hydrachnid mites. Except Germany where the species was described (Matthes, Stiebler, 1970) it
was found also in Ukrainian water bodies (Dovgal, 1987).
This paper describes a new species of Acineta Ehrenberg, 1834, A. persiensis, from the legs of hydrachnid
mite Protzia sepasgosariani Pesic et Saboori, 2006 collected in Guik stream, Khorrasan Province, Iran and
P. invalvaris Piersig, 1898, collected in Stream Bistrica near village Crkvine, Montenegro.

Material and methods
Collection of the water mites was provided by Dr. Vladimir Pesic. The mites were collected 08.06.05
in Khorrasan Province (Iran), Guik stream before Guik dam near Birjand city, 59°10’E 32°50’N, ca. 2500 m
asl, and 30.09.06 in Stream Bistrica near village Crkvine (Kolasin town, Montenegro). The hydrachnid mite,
which was found then was described as a new species, Protzia sepasgosariani Pesic et Saboori, 2006 (Pesic et
al., 2006). The mite from Montenegro was identified as Protzia invalvaris Piersig, 1898.
In the laboratory mite legs were examined using a dissecting microscope for the presence of epibionts.
In order to produce permanent preparations, the legs with attached suctorians were placed in a concentrated
Bouin’s fixative, then were stained with Boehmer’s haematoxylin and, finally, were mounted in Canada
balsam. The type material Acineta persiensis, hapantotype no. 294, is deposited at the Department of Fauna
and Systematics of Invertebrates, Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, National Academy of Sciences, Kyiv,
Ukraine.
Acineta persiensis Dovgal et Pesic, sp. n.
E t ymo l o g y. The specific name is of Latin derivation and reflects the geograph-
ical distribution of the species in Iran.
Ho s t s. Adult hydrachnid mites Protzia sepasgosariani (type host) and Protzia
invalvaris. Localization: leg surface.
Lo c a l i t i e s. Guik stream, Khorrasan Province, Iran (type locality); sampled during
summer 2005 and in Stream Bistrica near village Crkvine; sampled during autumn 2006.
Hap an t o t y p e N 294. The preparation of sessile forms mounted in Canada
balsam and deposited in the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology.
D i a gno s i s. Cell body pear-shaped, laterally flattened, 34–58 mkm long and
34–41 mkm wide (fig. 1). Two fascicles of clavate tentacles are located at the apical
cell body surface. Actinophores are not developed. Macronucleus in the form of irreg-
ular ellipse, relatively large (9 õ 20 mkm) and located about in center of the cell body.
Lorica covers all cell body, commonly coated with a detritus. The very thick walls of
lorica (up to 5 mkm) is characteristic to species. The stalk very short (5–7 mkm), com-
pact (2–3 mkm in diameter), slightly flexed and composed of adhesive disc. One
further peculiarity of the species is the ability to forming of the hyperphoretic pseudo-
colonies, in the case that the swarmer of the species to walk all over the trophont (com-
monly the maternal individual) and undergone the metamorphosis (fig. 1, 3). The
similar pseudocolonies forming the suctorian ciliate Periacineta gyrini Dovgal, 1993
inha-bits in the mouth cavity of whirligig beetles (Dovgal, 1993).

Di f f e r e n t i a l d i a g no s i s. The new suctorian species is probably close related
to A. foetida Maupas, 1881 as it also possesses short compact stalk, well-developed lor-
ica and ellipsoidal macronucleus. However in A. persiensis lorica absent the transversal
wrinkles that characteristic for A. foetida (Dovgal, 1996). In contrast to type species of
the genus, A. tuberosa Ehrenberg, 1834 the A. persiensis has short flexed stalk, lorica
with rarely thick walls and pear-shape body outlines.
