Eutintinnus (you-tin-tin-us), one of the tintinnid ciliates. These are mostly marine choreotrichs in which the cell is located within an open lorica which it drags around while it swims. The different genera and species are mostly distinguished by the different appearances of the lorica. This genus has a conical lorica which is open at both ends. With an adoral zone of membranelles located around the top end of the cell. Differential interference contrast.

Methyl green-Pyronin stained preparation of the oligotrich ciliate, Rimostrombidium hyalinum demonstrating the C-shaped transversely oriented anterior macronucleus. The small spherical micronucleus is superimposed on the center of the macronucleus in this image. Collected from freshwater pond near Boise, Idaho September 2003. DIC optics.

Xystonellopsis dicymatica is a tropical tintiinid ciliate about 350 microns long. The image is of a lugol's preserved specimen ffrom the South East Pacific.

Dictyocysta templum.

Drawing from Claparde & Lachmann 1858 (Plate 8, figure 5) of the species now known as Steenstrupiella steenstrupii as "Tintinnus steenstrupii". The scale bar reflects the text description (pg 200) as about 0.2 mm in overall length. The species (and now genus) was presumably named after the Danish biologist Japetus Steenstrup (1813-1897).

Forms of Favella ehrenbergii from the Etang de Thau near Montpellier, France in june 2012. The specimens were all found in samples from a mesocosm experiment (WarmAcid). They appear to be variants of Favella ehrenbergii.

Drawing from the original description by Brandt (1896). The black arrow showing length of 120 m is the median of the length range given in the text (pg 59). The grey arrow showing lorica oral diameter of 70 m (not given in the text) is based on the length value.
