Abstract
SYNOPSIS. Euplotes minuta Yocom, 1930, which has not been reported since its original description, was isolated in 1961 from a tide pool on the New Hampshire coast. Specimens from cultures derived from a single individual averaged 54μ long and 28μ wide. The buccal cavity has an average length of 41μ and contains 31–40 membranelles. There are ten fronto‐ventral cirri, five anal cirri, four caudal cirri, and nine dorsal bristle rows. E. minuta is compared with similar species in the genus and found to be a valid species on the basis of presently accepted criteria.
