Description: Article with illustrations by Rosemarie Arbur on a specimen of Actobolina vorax behaving in a strange way.
"Actinobolina Being Vorax" by Rosemarie Arbur, Oregon, US is a ciliate of medium size, 100-200 µm long. It's oval, mostly transparent, vacuolated, with faintly visible longitudinal rows of body cilia. A first and even second glance do not necessarily reveal its identifying characteristics: the sausage-shaped macronucleus that sometimes looks like a mere opacity among the vacuoles, and the "tentacles" that look like its regular cilia, only three times as long. Three months of finding little but small-to-medium-sized, oval, mostly transparent, vacuolated protists with sometimes-visible rows of cilia kept me on close terms with the drawings in my reference books.
