in vivo portrait (dorsal view) of the marine hypotrich ciliate, Diophrys hystrix (BUDDENBROCK, 1920). Collected from a commercial saltwater aquarium in Boise, Idaho February 2004.DIC.

in vivo portrait (ventral view) of the marine hypotrich ciliate, Diophrys hystrix (BUDDENBROCK, 1920). The yellow arrowheads mark the distinctive straight bristle-like dorsal cilia.The green arrowhead marks the three large caudal cirri arising from a pellicular concavity on the posterior right side.Collected from a commercial saltwater aquarium in Boise, Idaho February 2004.DIC.

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.
