The indispensable catalogue to
the original descriptions of hypotrichous ciliates. More than
1200 specific and subspecific taxa, 250 genera and subgenera,
almost 130 suprageneric taxa, and more than 800 combinations
are listed, referenced, and indexed. The series is designed to
provide all who deal with ciliates with some basic information
(basionym, combination, type groups, cross-references to recent
monographs) about the numerous taxa described so far. Such a
list is not only useful for taxonomists, for example, to prevent
the publication of a homonym, but also ecologists, physiologists,
and molecular biologists gain from such an index in that they
can find the updated name (combination) of a certain organism
easily. A valuable tool for all who deal with ciliates.
