Notes
A new ciliate genus Trichodoxa n. g. and two new species (T. genitalis n. sp., T. phalli n. sp.) are described and figured. These are only the second and third species of the family Trichodinidae to be described from the genital system of terrestrial molluscs. Only on tier of cilia surrounds the basal disc. This character, the course of the infundibular ciliature, structure of the coronal denticles, and structure of the border membrane differentiate the new genus from others in the family.
