Uroleptus Hypnotising Flagellates

A small Uroleptus (~130 μm), luring and eating free-swimming creatures. Possibly U. lacteus. This appears to be the same organism recorded by fpelectronica as Paruroleptus:    • PARUROLEPTUS CILIADO   The taxonomy seems to be undecided. Kahl regards Paruroleptus as a subgenus of Holosticha; Arthur Borror ("Revision of the Order Hypotrichida," 1972) assimilates it to Uroleptus. Whatever we call it, the thing crawls around in the algae like a hungry lizard, using its cirri as feet, occasionally extending its spoon-shaped cytostome. Small flagellates seem to be drawn toward it, and chemically immobilized. Does it produce a chemical attractant, of some sort? 400X
