Descrição:

Bodo ovatus Moroff, 1904. Bodo cells that are ellipsoid to oval, 10-12 microns long and 6-7 microns wide. The flagella rise at the rounded anterior end of the cell, the posterior flagellum is somewhat shorter than the anterior one. This is not the same species as Bodo ovatus (Dujardin, 1862) Stein, 1878. This means that Bodo ovatus Moroff is a junior homonym of Bodo ovatus (Dujardin, 1862) Stein, 1878, and the name will have to be changed.
