Chromidina Explained

Chromidina is a genus of apostome ciliates of the family Opalinopsidae. Species of Chromidina are parasitic [1] [2] in the renal and pancreatic appendages of cephalopods.

In 2016, a molecular study found that the closest relatives of Chromidina spp. were species of the apostome Pseudocollinia.[3]
