Geleiidae Explained

Geleiidae is a family of karyorelict ciliates.[1] It is sometimes synonymized with family Aveliidae.[2] [3] [4]

Geleiidae are very large ciliates (200 μm to 5 mm), with a cylindrical shape, and a thinner, often beak-shaped, apical region. They are characterized by a ventral oral region, with buccal infraciliature organized into one intrabuccal kinety and an extrabuccal row.[2] [3] [4]

The family name is based on Geleia, the type genus.
