Talk:Holotrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I redirected Gymnostomaceae here, as that was listed in the 1911 Britannica. The following was the entry from there: "an order of ciliate Infusoria characterized by a closed mouth, which only opens to swallow food actively, and body cilia forming a general or partial investment (rarely represented by a girdle of membranellae), but not differentiated in different regions. With the Aspirotrochaceae it formed the Holotricha of Heinrich vom Stein."

I'm sure this must be an obsolete taxon, but if anyone finds out otherwise, please let me know or redirect Gymnostomaceae accordingly. --DanielCD 30 June 2005 19:54 (UTC)

It's an obsolete taxon, the same as the gymnostomes listed here. This is the right place to send it. Josh
