Improved diagnosis: Cell of moderate size (35– 80 µm), ellipsoidal to ovoidal. Anterior end unciliated, posterior end with one or several long caudal cilia. Three postoral kineties, with highly shortened middle one. Cytostome subapical, up to 20% of cell length; paroral membrane commences approximately at level of membranelle 1. Scutica near proximal end of paroral membrane. Macronucleus, micronucleus, and contractile vacuole in mid-body or posterior cell portion. Kinetids form horizontal rows in anterior third of cell, with enlarged distance between certain horizontal rows on right cell side, forming distinct transverse gaps. Extrusomes exist.
