Notes

When the Hypotrichous Ciliate Euplotes muscicola is slightly treated by detergent, an amorphous cortical layer is obtained. We call this layer "hypolemme" because it has no contact with kinetosomes and thus is not a true epiplasm. The chitino-proteic ectocyst seems to proceed from the hypolemme.
