Family Chilodonellidae (ref. ID; 3331)

[ref. ID; 2013]
Outline shape oval to reniform sometimes with an anterior left-hand rostrum. Dorso-ventrally flattened, ventral surface flat, dorsal surface arched except for an anterior flattened region. Somatic cilia restricted to ventral surface consisting of several longitudinal kineties on the right of which most curve round the anterior region of the cell. The oral aperture is oval and is supported by a protrusible basket of trichites. There are 3 pre-oral kineties and the middle one curves around the right side of the oral aperture. The pre-oral kinety furthest from the aperture lies obliquely along the suture line. Beneath the latter pre-oral kinety there is a left field of longitudinal kineties which are positioned only on the left of the oral aperture. That is to say there is a central zone posterior to the aperture which is devoid of cilia, silver impregnation reveals a network of irregular polygons in this region. In Trithigmostoma this zone is ciliated. Macronucleus ovoid, 2 contractile vacuoles.
See Pseudochilodonopsis.
