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.
