Abstract
Paramecium nephridiatum Gelei, 1925, was rediscovered. it is a euryhaline b rackish-water species that morphologically resembles Paramecium woodruffi, but with multiple contractile vacuole pores. The general morphology, morpho metry, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprint patterns are presented for a number of the stocks collected around the world.
