Notes:
Morphological and behavioural information (from live, protargol-stained, SEM, and TEM materials) were used to re-describe the type species of Balanion, isolated from Danish waters. The ciliate was compared to the original description and to the only other described species, Balanion planctonicum, Balanion comatum was neotypified and distinguished from B. planctonicum by having 12–26 vs. 7–12 kinetosomes in the somatic kinetics and having 9 vs. 4 microtubules per oral flap.
