03E46D75FFF8FFD5166FFA9C0D91AF2B.taxon	description	Oral infraciliature. Oral infraciliature resembles the Diplodinium-type (Ito and Imai 2006), however present some morphological differences. There is composed by an adoral polybrachykinety (AP), vestibular polybrachykinety (VP), a dorsal polybrachykinety (DP) and paralabial kineties (PK). AP involves the buccal opening; VP is long and extends spirally into the vestibule, originating internally by the dorsal side of AP. DP extend laterally along dorsal anterior side of body. Four or five PK close to ventral portion of AP.	en	Cedrola, Franciane, D'agosto, Marta, Martinele, Isabel, Júnio Pedroso Dias, Roberto (2020): Redescription of Polyplastron alaskum Dehority, 1974 (Ciliophora, Entodiniomorphida), a Rare Rumen Ciliate Species from Domestic and Wild Sheep.

03E46D75FFF8FFD5166FFA9C0D91AF2B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Polyplastron alaskum slightly resembles Polyplastron arcticum, a rumen ophryoscolecid ciliate described by Lubinsky (1958), inhabiting the rumen contents of Canadian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus Smith). hh However, P. arcticum displays only four skeletal plates, four contractile vacuoles, and largest body dimensions. Habitat and hosts. Polyplastron alaskum was originally described in the rumen contents of wild sheep, dall montain sheep (Ovis dalli Nelson) in the vicinity of Cantwell, Alaska (Dehority 1974) and found again only in the present study, in low prevalence (6.25 %) and relative abundance (0.8 ± 1.6), inhabiting the rumen contents of domestic sheep (Ovis aries L.) in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Voucher slides: Type material. Voucher slides with Brazilian population of Polyplastron alaskum (C _ Pa _ 0002 _ 01) were deposited in the collection of the Laboratório de Protozoologia (LabProto), Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil.	en	Cedrola, Franciane, D'agosto, Marta, Martinele, Isabel, Júnio Pedroso Dias, Roberto (2020): Redescription of Polyplastron alaskum Dehority, 1974 (Ciliophora, Entodiniomorphida), a Rare Rumen Ciliate Species from Domestic and Wild Sheep.
