Clevelandella Kidder 1938

GENUS CLEVELANDELLA KIDDER, 1938 Improved diagnosis: Body posteriorly extended into a medium-long peristomial projection; macronucleus oriented with its longer axis obliquely to main body axis, posterior end of macronucleus typically more or less narrowed; karyophore present, attached to right side below mid-body, in some species also to left body margin; adoral zone of membranelles on right and paroral membrane on left side of vestibulum. Diagnostic molecular characters as shown in Figure 8. aReference alignments are available in Supporting Information,Alignments S1 ‒ S3. For further details on the localization of molecular diagnostic characters, see Supporting Information, Supplementary Tables S1‒S 3. 18S, 18 S rRNA gene; ITS, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region; 28 S, 28 S rRNA gene. bDNA samples of holotype specimens have been deposited in Natural History Museum, Vajanského nábrežie 2, 810 06 Bratislava, Slovakia. cFor GenBank accession numbers of 18 S rRNA gene and ITS region-28 S rRNA gene sequences obtained from holotype specimens, see Table 1. Type species and nomenclature: Clevelandia panesthiae Kidder, 1937 by original designation (Article 68.2 of ICZN, 1999). Kidder (1937) fixed C. panesthiae as type species of Clevelandia Kidder, 1937 (ciliate), which is a junior homonym of Clevelandia Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1888 (fish). Therefore, Kidder (1938) proposed a new replacement name (nomen novum), Clevelandella, for Clevelandia (ciliate). According to Article 67.7 of ICZN (1999), both the prior nominal genus-group taxon and its replacement have the same type species. Aescht (2001) incorrectly stated that C. panesthiae is a type species of Clevelandella by subsequent designation in Earl (1972). Etymology: The genus was named in honour of the protistologist L. R. Cleveland.
