Favella Ehrenbergii (as Tintinnus ehrenbergii) based on specimens found near Bergen, Norway; text is on pp 203-204. Plate 8 legend states that the drawings are of the same individual: the cell extended vibrating its cilia, the cell contracted within the lorica. 'vc' denotes contractile vacuole and 'w' 'anus' or cytoproct. From Claparde, E., Lachmann, J. 1858-1860. Etudes sur les infusoires et les rhizopodes. Mmoires de l'instut Genevois, 5, 6 & 7.

Specimen from the Canada Basin in August 2013. The lorica is slightlly longer than the average.

Favella azorica was originally described by Cleve (1889) as Undella azorica.

Forms of Favella ehrenbergii from the Etang de Thau near Montpellier, France in june 2012. The specimens were all found in samples from a mesocosm experiment (WarmAcid). They appear to be variants of Favella ehrenbergii.
-
Drawing from the original description by Brandt (1896). The black arrow showing length of 120 m is the median of the length range given in the text (pg 59). The grey arrow showing lorica oral diameter of 70 m (not given in the text) is based on the length value.

Specimen from the Amundsen Sea, lugol's fixed.
-
Most agree that C. convallaria and C. affinis are probably one single species. this is a Bouin's- fixed specimen from the Amundsen Sea.
-
Lorica or shell shape is somewhat variable in Favella - this one added an extra flare to its house. Specimen from the WarmAcid experiment in Sète in 2012.
