The Chlamydodontida are an order of the eyelash animals that includes six families with over twenty genera.

description

The chlamydodontids are small to large for ciliate animals and are flattened from the back to the front. They mostly live free-swimming, but can anchor themselves to the ground with the help of the thigmotactic cilia on the front .

Somatic kinets are usually found in two roughly equal areas to the right and left of a longitudinal axis imagined in the middle of the front (with the exception of the representatives of the Kryoprorodontidae). Unlashed, adhesive sections as well as movable podiums are missing .

Systematics

The order was first described in 1976 by Gilbert Deroux , it comprises six families with 23 genera:

• Chlamydodontidae
• Chitonellidae
• Gastronautidae
• Kryoprorodontidae
• Chilodonellidae
• Lynchellidae
