AB  - Prostomatean ciliates play important roles in the flow of material and energy in 
      aquatic microbial food webs, and thus have attracted wide attention for over a 
      century. Their taxonomy and systematics are, however, still poorly understood 
      because of their relatively few taxonomically informative morphological 
      characters. In this study, two new prostomateans, Lagynus binucleatus sp. n. and 
      Foissnerophrys alveolata gen. n., sp. n., collected from a freshwater pool and 
      the intertidal zone of a sandy beach, respectively, in Qingdao, China, are 
      investigated using living observation, protargol staining, and SSU rRNA gene 
      sequencing methods. The genus Lagynus is redefined, and the new species L. 
      binucleatus sp. n. is established based on significant morphological differences 
      with similar forms. Furthermore, a new genus, Foissnerophrys gen. n., is 
      established based on a combination of morphological and molecular data with F. 
      alveaolata sp. n. the type species by monotypy. The identities of intracellular 
      prokaryotes of these two new species are discussed based on fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization (FISH) data and newly obtained 16S rRNA gene sequences.
