Namalycastis abiuma (Annelida, Nereidiformia) and Epistylis sp.2 (Ciliophora, Sessillida)</p> <p>The present is the first record of epibionts attached to Namalycastis abiuma polychaetes. Out of 20 specimens of N. abiuma examined, seven had individuals of Epistylis sp.2 attached to the parapodia, mostly on dorsal cirri, but also present on the ligules and ventral cirri. The ciliates are restricted to the parapodia, not occurring either on dorsal or ventral body surfaces of the worms, and may occur on both sides, anterior and posterior, of ligules and cirri. Partially contracted mature individuals of Epistylis sp.2 are 51.06 µm long, in average, and juveniles are 34.57 µm long, in average, in 30 individuals measured (Fig. 3B, D). Members of Epistylis sp.2 were found in both solitary and colonial forms (Fig. 3B–D), on average ~75 individuals per worm.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8117E0644E53FFF8FF3A74B6825325B4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Terebella (Annelida, Terebelliformia) and Epistylis sp.1 (Ciliophora, Sessilida)</p> <p>Most if not all specimens of Terebella sp. collected at Vellar estuary were severely infested with ciliate epibiont protozoans Epistylis sp.1. The ciliates were found all over the worms’ bodies, on the buccal tentacles, lips, branchiae and dorsal and ventral body surfaces, but with clear preference for grooved regions on the body wall, such as between neuropodia and along the mid-ventral groove (Fig. 2A–C), possibly because these regions are more sheltered. Partially contracted individuals of Epistylis sp.1 are 52.56 µm long, in average, in 50 individuals measured, and were only found in solitary form (Fig. 2A–E), ~300–350 individuals per worm, in average, in 10 worms counted. Nevertheless, the tissues of the worm did not show lesions of any type at attachment points, suggesting that the ciliates are more likely ectocommensals, rather than parasites.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8117E0644E50FFFBFF3A74FE823C265B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
