I have been unable to identify this organism after reviewing Kahl's books (several times). Perhaps Uroleptosis?
Hypotrichs drive me crazy!
Thank you all for any help!

Re: What Hypotrich is this?
We're seeing this guy from the side, and the distribution of ventral cirri is not visible. So, the best we can do is...subclass Hypotrichia. Anything else would be a guess (Uroleptopsis is a saltwater ciliate, btw...if you're sampling marine waters it's important to mention that).
Re: What Hypotrich is this?
Thank you. I'm sorry for my boldness, Bruce, I was too hasty in assuming that it could be Uroleptopsis. I didn't notice their habitat when seeing it in Kahl's book. All my samples are freshwater (for now). When I sample brackish or marine water I will mention it.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
