The structure, development, and host range of five newly detected species of the phagotrophic nanoflagellate Pirsonia are described. They feed on planktic diatoms common in the North Sea: P. verrucosa sp. nov. (on Rhizosolenia delicatula), P. formosa sp. nov. (on Rhizosolenia setigera), P. diadema sp. nov. (on Coscinodiscus granii and C. wailesii), P. eucampiae (on Eucampia zodiacus) and P. mucosa sp. nov. (on Rhizosolenia shrubsolei). The occurrence of resting cysts in Pirsonia guinardiae is reported. The impact of Pirsonia on phytoplankton communities is discussed.
