SUMMARY. Since the work of Stein the systematic position of the genus Balantidium in the spirotrichous order Heterotrichida generally has been accepted without question. Reported here are some new observations, of taxonomic significance, on the infraciliature and on the mechanisms of stomatogenesis in Balantidium elongatum and B. entozoon. The results obtained verify and complete earlier cytological observations made by a number of authors; consideration of the present findings, however, suggests that Balantidium is a holotrichous ciliate of the type “prostomien” and that the family Balantidiidae logically belongs alongside that of the Plagiopylidae, in the holotrichous order Trichostomida.
