Trachelophyllum apiculatum (Perty, 1852) Claparède & Lachmann, 1859.Predatory ciliate with surface coated with a single type (probably Type I) of fine organic scales (i.e. lepidosomes). Identification is tentative since scanning electron microscopy is required for diagnostic lepidosome characterization. Collected from a freshwater pond near Boise, Idaho.DIC.
