Order. Peritricha.
Genus Strombidium.

  Strombidium intermedium, sp. nov. Plate III., fig. 17, abc.
  Animalcules free-swimming, ovoid, with a short posterior prolongation; colour whitish, with enclosed granules; about one and a half times longer than broad; anterior border rounded, posterior projection tapering nearly to a point. On the anterior portion is a ring of long, fine cilia, which in end-view (fig. 17, b) are seen to be disposed spirally. Contractile vesicle single, close to the posterior projection. Nucleus elongate-oval, placed diagonally below the ring of cilia. No cilia on any part except in the ring. Motion excessively rapid, jerking, and difficult to follow. An example observed of reproduction by fission is shown in fig. 17, c; the two bodies are at right angles to each other.
  Length, 1/875 inch = 38.5 µ.
  Otaki, W. M. Maskell.
  Intermediate between S. claparedii, Kent, and S. gyrans, Stokes.*

Strombidium

Strombidium ist eine Gattung fast ausschließlich mariner planktonischer Wimpertierchen (Ciliaten) in der Ordnung Oligotrichida, die etwa 30 Arten (Spezies) umfasst. Wie andere Ciliaten sind sie einzellige Eukaryoten (Protisten), die sich mit Hilfe von Flimmerhärchen fortbewegen. Bei Strombidium sind wie bei den anderen Oligotrichida diese Flimmerhärchen am Zellkörper jedoch entweder stark reduziert oder ganz verloren gegangen. Nur die Flimmerhärchen um die Mundöffnung bilden große und auffällige Strukturen, die Membranellen genannt werden und ebenfalls der Fortbewegung dienen. .. weiterlesen
