Notes

It is shown in a detailed study of the cortex and buccal organelles of Cyrtolophosis mucicola that, at the ultrastructural level, the general plan of organization of this ciliate conforms to that of Woodruffia, Platyophrya, Kuklikophrya and other Colpoda. Specific variations seen in the buccal organelles confirm the taxonomic position of C. mucicola in the family Cyrtolophosididae and in the suborder Platyophryina.
