Description
Genus: Rhabdostyla Kent, 1881
Opisthostyla Stokes, 1886 b: 565.
[Rhabdostyla] (Rhabdostyla) Kent, 1881 — Kahl, 1935: 673
[Rhabdostyla] (Opisthostyla) Stokes, 1886 b— Kahl, 1935: 679
Epistylis (Rhabdostyla) Kent, 1881 — Stiller, 1971: 64
Diagnosis: Solitary, with a short, non-contractile peduncle, with a generally bell-shaped body and a well-defined peristomial collar.
Type specie: Epistylis spheroides (Subsequent designation Jankwoski, 2009)
Remarks: initially described by Kent in (1881) as solitary “animalcules”, similar to those of the genus Vorticella, but with non-contractile peduncle. In a recent taxonomic study, Álvarez-Campos et al. (2014) defines the genus as solitary peritrich ciliates with short non-contractile peduncles, with a mainly bell-shaped body and a well-defined peristomial lip. Here we suggest Opisthostyla annulate as type species of Opisthostyla, this species was in the original genus description, have a decent diagnosis and attached graphic representation.
