Holotricha

Holotrich, Frontonia leucas, by Schewiakoff, from Gary N. Calkins, The Protozoa 1910

Holotricha is an order of ciliates. The classification has fallen from use as a formal taxon, but the terms "holotrich" and "holotrichous" are still applied descriptively to organisms with cilia of uniform length distributed evenly over the surface of the body.[1]
