Parduczia is a genus of karyorelict ciliates in the family Geleiidae.
Parduczia species are filiform to serpentiform ciliates characterized by their giant size (1.2 to 2.5 mm on average) and their very long buccal split.[1]
The genus name[a] is a taxonomic patronym honoring the protistologist Béla Párducz (1911–1964).[3][4]
