Riassunto (Italiano)

This thesis presents several instances of NGTax applied to ciliates in different ways and comtexts, both extensively and intensively, in the hope of future expansion. We describe a census of ciliate diversity in four locations in Tuscany and two in South Africa; NGTax-based descriptions of five novel species, presenting a case for the institution of class Copemetopea; and a literature review reconstructing the joint taxonomic history of Lacrymaria and Phialina, proposing the union of the two genera and evaluating the status of validity of their species.
