SUBCLASS SUCTORIA
Claparede and Lachmann , 1858
Mature sessile trophonts , usually non-
ciliated, with one to many tentacles that ingest
prey ; extrusomes (haptocysts) at tentacle tips ;
tentacles, short (e.g. , Cyathodinium,
Phalacroc/eptes) or long and extensible (e.g .,
Rhyncheta , Rhynchophrya), supported by an outer
ring of microtubules and an inner set of
microtubular ribbons (=phyllae); ciliated ,
migratory dispersal "larvae" or swarmers
(usually formed by unequal cell division) typically
bearing neither tentacles nor stalk; somatic
monokinetids, each with slightly to moderately
convergent postciliary ribbon , short laterally
directed kinetodesmal fibril, and transverse fiber ;
parasomal sacs on either side of kinetosome ;
nematodesmatal "ribbon" ansmg from somatic
kinetosomes, extending posteriorly beneath kinety ;
many species , as trophonts , ectosymbiotic on
other organisms; three orders.
exogenous cytokinesis . B. Internal budding of Order
Endogenida begun in a pouch , with endogenous
cytokinesis . C. Internal budding of Order Evaginogenida
begun in a pouch , with exogenous cytokinesis . (from
Small and Lynn , 1985)
NOTE: A group adapted to a sessile, sedentary I ife
and whose modes of division are clearly
systematically important may be subdivided by the
key below. A field biologist may not find a
suctorian dividing; therefore, the keys provide

deciding which convergent morphologies best fit the
organism.
