Diagnosis: Size about 80–90µm. Subcylindrical body, attenuated, about three times longer than wide, similar to Epistylis plicatilis . Extremely short peduncle, about one-tenth the size of the body. Provided with an anterior rostrum when contracted. Oval macronucleus centralized in the posterior part of the body. With several transversal grooves in the posterior region when contracted. Found in large numbers on Diptera larvae in freshwater environments.

Remarks: diagnosis based on the work of Kent (1881) and Kahl (1935).
