Choreotrichida

Tintinnopsis beroidea, from Calkins (1902).

Belongs within: Oligotrichea.
Contains: Strombidinopsidae, Strobilidiidae.

The Choreotrichida are a group of ciliates united by a closed adoral zone of membranelles (secondarily opened slightly in Parastrombidinopsis) and hypoapokinetal stomatogenesis in a pouch (Agatha & Strüder-Kypke 2007).
