Callidina

Callidina Ehrenberg, 1830

ref. ID; 2276

Harring, in the Synopsis of the Rotatoria, 1913, p.24, states: "As the type of Ehrenberg's genus Callidina is insufficiently described... and is not congeneric with the species listed by him under the name, these have been transferred to the genus Macrotrachela Milne... As a consequence the genus Callidina becomes a harbor of refuge for a motley assemblage of doubtful and insufficiently described species." (ref. ID; 2276)

ref. ID; 3137

In this genus were ranged all Bdelloidea species without eye-spots. For the present include in this genus only doubtful, little described, insufficiently described or figured and unfigured species, which according to Harring's revision of 1913 cannot be placed in any genus so far known. Unfortunately also lately has such an indeterminable species as Callidina discopus Hauer, 1938 been described. (ref. ID; 3137)
