Ptychocylis species correctly sized

Image of Ptychocylis Brandt

Description:

Dimensions of the most common Ptychocylis species based on the text of the original species descriptions. The length (black arrow) is the middle of the range given in Brandt 1896, Brandt 1906-1907. The grey arrow is the lorica oral diameter based on the total length (not given in the text of the discriptions). Brandt, rather than Claparède & Laachmann, is used for P. urnula because they did not state exactly what 'diameter' was.
