Description:
Uronychia is a hypotrich ciliate. As such it has an adoral zone of membranelles for feeding, and these extend around the anterior end of the cell. Like other hypotrichs, motile cilia are clustered into cirri on the ventral surface. Those of Diophrys are very strongly developed. Phase contrast.
