However,&#13;
using this limited information and data from our laboratory on the systematics, biology, ecology and distribution of&#13;
suctorian ciliates that are epibionts of halacarid mites, we redescribed four suctorian species: Limnoricus ceter (Jankowski),&#13;
Praethecacineta halacari (Schulz), Thecacineta calix (Schroder) and Acineta sulcata Dons. We also recognized&#13;
Lissacineta allgeni Jankowski and Thecacineta allgeni (Jankowski) as synonyms of Praethecacineta halacari (Schluz),&#13;
and Thecacineta laophontis Jankowski and Paracineta moebiusi Kahl as synonyms of Thecacineta calix (Schroder).&#13;
Many suctorians have been reported, but not properly identified in the halacarid literature. So, we have attempted to&#13;
identify those suctorians to species level. Lastly, the interactions between the suctorians and their hosts are also discussed&#13;
and Praethecacineta halacari is also reported for the first time from the Indian coast.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">QL Zoology</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2008</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>TERM OF USE  This pdf is provided by Magnolia Press for private/research use.
