Abstract
The epistylidid ciliate Epistylis wuhanensis Wang, Zhou, Guo, and Gu, 2017 was found attached to the body surface of Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758 (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) parasitizing Rhinogobius similis Gill, 1859 (Perciformes: Gobiidae) from the Arida River in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. This epistylidid was described based on live ciliates, stained specimens, and scanning electron microscope observation with molecular information. This is the first record of E. wuhanensis from Japan and the second record of the epistylidid attached to metazoans. A list of records of Epistylis Ehrenberg, 1830 species attached to metazoans in Japan is proposed.

期刊介绍：
Species Diversity is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal on all aspects of animal species diversity. Species Diversity is published by the Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology. It is the English-language successor of the Proceedings of the Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology and complements the latter’s Japanese-language continuation, Taxa. e purpose of Species Diversity is to facilitate the international ex change of information about animal species diversity by publishing papers dealing with all aspects of taxonomy, systematics, speciation, biogeography, and life his tory research.
