diagnosis
Diagnosis: Bergeriellids with three rows of frontal cirri, to which the midventral rows lie posteriorly; buccal cirri close to paroral membrane; transverse and caudal cirri absent; one right and one left marginal row strongly spiralled, with most parts displaced on dorsal side; several enlarged postoral Abbreviations: AM, adoral membranelles; BC, buccal cirri; CV, coefficient of variation (in %); DK, dorsal kineties; FC, frontal cirri; LMR, left marginal row; LMVC, left midventral cirri; LVR, left ventral row; Ma, macronuclear nodules; NMR, non-migratory row; PVR, postoral ventral rows; RMR, right marginal row; RMVC, right midventral cirri; SD, standard deviation. ventral rows formed from the central part of the posterior FVT anlagen. Dedication and etymology: We dedicate this new genus to our eminent Austrian colleague, Dr Helmut Berger, in recognition of his great contribution to ciliatology, especially in the taxonomy and systematics of hypotrichs. Gender: female. (Note: Bergeriella is also used as a generic name of a bacterium. However, zoological nomenclature is independent of other systems of nomenclature, and therefore this name can be used here; ICZN, 1999: article 1.4). Type species: Bergeriella ovata gen. et sp. nov.
