). Our population corresponds well with Poljanskys (1951) regarding the basic morphology (viz. the habitat, cell shape, shape and position of macronucleus, number of anterior and ventral membranelles, etc.). But the Russian population is relatively smaller (5095 × 2546 µm vs. 80130 × 4560 µm). We think this difference might be population dependent and thus should not be exaggerated. Since apical protrusion is inconspicuous in vivo and only can be detected under high magnification, this might explain why Poljanskys population has no apical protrusion (
