Morphology and life cycle of the three genera comprising Dinophilidae. (a–c) Dinophilus, exemplified by D. vorticoides Schmidt, 1848, collected from the Faroe Islands; (d–f) Trilobodrilus, exemplified by T. axi Westheide, 1967, collected from Sylt, Germany; and (g–I) Dimorphilus gen. nov., exemplified by D. gyrociliatus O. Schmidt, 1857, collected from cultures originating from Xiamen, China. a,d,g) Light microscopy images in dorsoventral view; b,e,h) scanning electron micrographs; b) in lateral view showing ventral ciliary tract and two segmental ciliary bands; (e) dorsal view showing lack of segmental ciliary bands; (h) in dorsolateral view showing one segmental ciliary band; c,f,i) schematic life cycle of the respective genus. The orientation of the microscopic images is indicated by small axis-schemes in each figure (a – anterior; d – dorsal; l – left; p – posterior; r – right; v – ventral).
