Re: Is this Stylonichia?
No, Stylonychia would have a group of three stiff and prominent cirri at the posterior of the cell, a much larger mouth region, and a rigid body. This is a soft-bodied hypotrich in another genus. Identification below subclass would require a clear view of the cirri on the ventral surface.
