Summary. A population of Pseudoamphisiella alveolata was isolated from the coastal waters off Nagasaki, Japan. Its morphology and morphogenesis were studied by observations on organisms from life and following protargol impregnation. Morphometrical data of this form correspond well with those of the Chinese population, thus the validity of this species is confirmed. Its morphogenetic pr ocesses show a few that differ from those of P. lacazei, the type species of this genus, and main events are documented here: (1) The oral primordium of the opisthe and primary primordium of the fronto-ventral transverse cirri are possibly derived from an anarchic field of kin etosomes originating de novo on cell surface, and most ventral cirri do not contribute to the formation of these primordia; (2) The posterior portion of the parental adoral zone of membranelles is renewed in situ while the anterior part is retained by the proter; (3) Oblique streaks of FVT-anlagen in both dividers are generated from the division of primary primordium. Two buccal cirri are derived from the anter ior two streaks of the FVT-anlagen; (4) The left marginal rows and dorsal kineties equally develop by “within proliferation”; the cauda l cirri develop from the posterior end of each dorsal kinety anlage; (5) The anlagen for the right marginal rows originate parallel to FVT-anla gen; (6) So-called caudal cirri near the rightmost transverse cirri are actually migratory right marginal cirri. The present study d emonstrates that morphogenetic data can be useful in differentiating species and genera with similar morphologies.
