From other sources
Taxonomic remark Synonymy given by Johnston, 1938, quoting Harring, 1913. Subsequent workers attributes various species of ciliates to this genus (of which the type species is now considered a rotifer); the genus is still used as valid in ciliates but with authorship Stein, 1867, technically a junior homonym of Lamarck's name but with no substitute name proposed; for additional detail refer Aescht, 2001.
