Using morphological, morphometric, and molecular methods, we describe Bromeliophrya quadristicha n. spec. from tank bromeliads of Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. The new species differs from the single congener, B. brasiliensis, mainly in having four (vs. 2) left lateral kinetofragments, 23 (vs. 32) ciliary rows, and a short (vs. long and C-shaped) adoral membranelle 3. Both the morphological and molecular phylogenies show Bromeliophrya and Glaucomides as sister group of the Glaucomidae. Thus, they should have the same (family) rank.
利用形态学、形态计量学和分子方法,我们描述了来自牙买加和多米尼加共和国水箱凤梨科植物的 Bromeliophrya quadristicha n. spec.。新种与单一近缘种 B. brasiliensis 主要区别在于具有四个(而不是两个)左侧动体节,23 条(而不是 32 条)纤毛列,以及短(而不是长且 C 形)口前庭膜 3。形态和分子系统发育均显示 Bromeliophrya 和 Glaucomides 为 Glaucomidae 的姐妹群。因此,它们应该具有相同的(科)等级。
