Kinetofragminophorea
Ki·ne·to·frag·min·o·phor·ea (kĭ-ne″to-frag″min-ə-forґe-ə) [kineto- + L. fragmen piece + Gr. phōros bearing] a class of ciliate protozoa (phylum Ciliophora), characterized by the presence of isolated kinetia in the oral region of the body (kinetofragments) bearing cilia but not compound ciliary organelles; a cytostome and cytopharyngeal apparatus are often present. It comprises four subclasses: Gymnostomatia, Vestibuliferia, Hypostomatia, and Suctoria.
