SYNOPSIS. Miamiensis avidus n. g., n. sp., a marine facultative parasite, is described. Morphological studies were made on specimens treated with the Chatton‐Lwoff silver impregnation technique and living material was examined with phase microscopy. Particular attention was given the infraciliature of the buccal apparatus and its importance to generic assignment in the order Hymenostomatida.
