New finds of tokophrya wenzeli (Ciliophora, Suctorea), a commensal of water mites (acari, hydrachnidia), and the redescription of the species

The article deals with investigations
of suctorian species Tokophrya wenzeli Matthes et Stiebler, 1970 which was observed in waterbodies of
Ukraine, Poland and Macedonia. New observations permit to precise the morphology of tentacles and
show the variability of such sufficient characters of the species as morphology of basal plate, stalk and
actinophores. The redescription of the species is also presented.
