Abstract
The suctorian Acineta tuberosa Ehrenberg, 1834 is reported from the subtidal zone at Bubut, along the South China Sea coastline of Brunei Darussalam, as an epibiont on the sea spider (Pycnogonida) Hemichela sp. The found ciliate has a stalked, loricate, flattened triangular cell body, rounded macronucleus and capitate tentacles arranged in two fascicles on two wide and short actinophores. The pycnogonid is also reported here as a host of A. tuberosa for the first time. This is also first report of A. tuberosa from the Brunei coastal area. In addition, notes on ciliate epibionts of pycnogonids are given.
