What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

description · Plazi

Main morphological characters (according to Song & Wilbert 1989 and Foissner et al. 1995 ). Length 200– 800 µm in vivo . Body fusiform, posteriorly tail-like; highly contractile. Two macronuclear nodules with a single micronucleus in between. Many scattered contractile vacuoles. Extrusomes rod-like, about 10 µm long, scattered in cytoplasm and forming an anterior cluster in oral bulge. Somatic ciliary pattern Amphileptus -like; about 25–40 right and 7–13 left kineties. Morphological and taxonomical notes. According to Matis (1961) up to 200 µm long. However, Penard (1922) and Song & Wilbert (1989) recorded much larger specimens, ranging from 600 to 800 µm in length. On the other hand, the length varies from 200 to 800 µm according to Foissner et al. (1995) . Since Matis’ (1961) specimens are at or below the lower size limit, we question their conspecificity with A. procerus . Possibly, they are a misidentified A. proceroformis Song & Wilbert, 1989 .
