Antarctica is a remote and isolated biotope which makes it an ideal location for studying new and endemic species. Since there is little literature available on the diversity of ciliates in this area, a taxonomic survey of ciliates from melt-water of Collins glacier, King George Island, was carried out from January to March 2006. As a result, the morphology and infraciliature of five ciliates, including one new species, are described using live observations and silver staining:Gastronauta multistriatanov. spec.,Neokeronopsis asiaticaFoissner et al., 2010,Paraholosticha muscicolaKahl, 1932,Oxytrichasp., andCyclidium glaucomaMüller, 1786.Gastronauta multistriatanov. spec. is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: cell size in vivo on average 80 × 40 μm; 5–9 kineties in left ciliary field; 18–23 kineties in right ciliary field, including 10–12 postoral kineties; 7–10 preoral kineties; dorsal brush along anterior dorsal margin, consisting of 5–8 groups of basal bodies. The only minor differences between the current population ofN. asiaticaand a previously described Antarctic population are the numbers of caudal cirri (6–10 vs. 8–15) and dorsal kineties (11–13 vs. 12–18).Paraholosticha sterkiiis synonymised withP. muscicola.The Antarctic population ofC. glaucomacorresponds well with a former population from China, the only difference being the number of kinetids in SKn(11–17 vs. 9–11). This work will contribute to the understanding of ciliate diversity in this little studied area.
