A large-scale investigation of warm water loricate choanoflagellate communities has revealed the presence of close to 80 species, which is approximately half of all loricate choanoflagellate taxa described when including also hitherto undescribed forms known to us. We are in the process of stepwise providing a monographic treatment of these communities. The overall aim is to contribute the best possible account of species diversity, based on traditional light and electron microscopical techniques, as a tool for future identification work based on microscopy, and in support of the work in progress with establishing a quality assured molecular tool for future recognition of diversity. In this paper we summarize our findings of species of Acanthocorbis and Stephanoeca, which include the description of several new taxa: A. conicella sp. nov., A. gladiella sp. nov., S. broomia sp. nov., S. naja sp. nov., and S. andemanica sp. nov.

一项对温水鞭毛鞭毛虫群落的大规模调查显示，存在近80种，当包括我们迄今尚未描述的形式时，约占描述的所有鞭毛鞭毛藻类群的一半。我们正在逐步提供这些社区的专题论文。总体目标是基于传统的光和电子显微镜技术，尽最大可能地对物种多样性做出贡献，作为基于显微镜的未来识别工作的工具，并为建立质量有保证的分子工具以支持正在进行的工作未来对多样性的认识。在本文中，我们总结了棘皮动物和Stephanoeca物种的发现，其中包括几个新分类单元的描述：A. conicella sp。十一月，A.gladiella sp.。十一月，S. broomia sp。十一月，S. naja sp。十一月，和S. andemanica sp。十一月
