This genus is exceptional among Mastigophora in that division is transverse instead of longitudinal.
The anterior half of the body Genus _Balantidium_ tapers to nearly a point in front; the peristome is narrowest at the apex; the mouth is the entire peristome base.
The animal is attached, as in the closely allied genus _Tintinnus_, by a peduncle to the bottom of the lorica.

Origin of the modern human genus, Homo, is one of the most intriguing and controversial questions in paleoanthropology.
The oldest fossils of our genus are at least 2.3 to 2.5 million years old.
The evolution of the modern human genus can be divided roughly into three periods: early, middle, and late.

The system of the trypanosomatid genus assignment was largely developed by Hoare and Wallace (1966) on the basis of the observed morphotypes (Molyneux and Ashford 1983).
It is best exemplified by the polyphyly of the genus Bodo, the members of which are found in the different parts of the tree.

Large double-stranded DNA viruses which cause the lysis of marine heterotrophic nanoflagellates (Bodo sp.) occur in natural marine virus communities.
A virus (BV-PW1) which causes lysis of two strains of a marine heterotrophic nanoflagellate belonging to the genus Bodo (strains E1 and E4) was isolated from the coastal waters of Texas.
The presence of viruses in seawater which cause lysis of phagotrophic nanoflagellates implies that viruses infect microzooplankton populations in the sea and suggests another important role for viruses in aquatic microbial communities.

 Paleoanthropology
Looking further back, the various members of the genus Homo are the decendants of the australopithecines, who around three million years ago were represented by numerous species.
Early hominid diets are of some theoretical significance, since one current view is that the emergence of the more intelligent Homo genus depended on the consumption of high-quality animal foods that made possible biological changes resulting in the evolution of a larger brain.
The earliest taxon to satisfy the criteria is Homo ergaster, or early African Homo erectus, which currently appears in the fossil record at about 1.9 million years ago [see the May 2000 announcement of finds of hominids classified as Homo ergaster in the republic of Georgia, the oldest outside of Africa].

 PID - Caecitellus Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Caecitellus is a genus of small bacterivorous zooflagellates in marine environments, distinguished because the cells typically move by gliding along a substrate rather than by swimming.
Before 1993, this species was known as Bodo parvulus.
However, it does not belong to the bodonid/kinetoplastid group of protists but instead is closely related to bicosoecid (also spelled "bicoecid") flagellates such as Cafeteria.

This genus, as modified by France', is distinguished from the preceding by the possession of an unbranched stalk much longer than the body length.
The animal is attached, as in the closely allied genus Tintinnus, by a peduncle to the bottom of the lorica.
Its right edge forms a greater angle with the front edge than in the genus Euplotes, and the left edge forms a greater angle with the front edge than in that genus.

Here we demonstrate with a molecular phylogenetic analysis including the genus Colpodella, and in the absence of fossils, the morphological identity of the ancestral alveolate.
Preliminary comparisons to Bodo confirmed that Colpodella is not closely related to the kinetoplastids.
The strain feeds on Bodo caudatus and was maintained in vitro at the American Type Culture Collection with its naturally ocurring bodonid prey.

 Dr. John Kappelman's Outreach Lecture Information
In this lecture Dr. Kappelman will present some the high points of this revolution and will discuss how the recovery of new fossil specimens has changed our understanding of the timing of hominid origins and the sorts of selection pressures that drove the evolution of bipedalism.
In addition, new observations about the genus Homo integrate data from body mass and brain size and together with the archaeological record suggest a long, distinctly non-modern phase in human evolution.
The final topic of this lecture will include a discussion of the origin of modern humans, and how the combination of new specimens from the fossil record along with data from the molecular genetics of living and ancient humans offers new insights into our own origins.

Its membranous disk recalls the genus Plakopus; its mononucleate condition, its membranous disk, and the short, sometimes branched, pseudopodia make it difficult to identify with any phase in the life-history of Trichosphærium.
The single specimen that I found looked much like a Suctorian of the genus Sphærophrya, but the absence of a firm cuticle and the presence of food-taking pseudopodia with granule-streaming makes it a very questionable Suctorian, and 1 place it here until further study throws more light upon it.
