The spirotrichs are a large and diverse group of ciliate protozoa. They typically have prominent oral cilia in the form of a series of polykinetids, called...

some forms there are also body polykinetids, for instance, among the spirotrichs where they generally form bristles called cirri. The infraciliature is...

defined by Friedrich von Stein in 1859. Initially they were considered spirotrichs, then treated as a separate category, before receiving their modern placement...
