1 Infundibulum with five very long lobes resembling arms, ~ trunk length or longer; arms either stout with setae in whorls or slender with long slim setae not in whorls; setae always at right angles to arms; clear gelatinous tube; body length ≤1500 µm; sessile; oviparous. (Fig. 3A,B)................................................... Stephanoceros Ehrenberg, 1832 [In light of the fact that some members of the genus Collotheca also possess long lobes (e.g., Collotheca judayi Edmondson, 1940; Collotheca tenuilobata (Anderson, 1889)), Meksuwan et al. (2013) have recommended that the status of both genera be re-evaluated.]
1’ Infundibulum with lobes absent or short to long, sometime knobbed at the terminus; long setae usually present extending from infundibular margin of the lobes; setae never in whorls and never held at right angles to arms; cilia often present; clear tube may be embedded with algae or with debris; body length ~100–2,500 µm; sessile or planktonic; oviparous. (Fig. 3C,D)......................................................................................... Collotheca Harring, 1913 [In some species (e.g., C. judayi) setae are absent and the entire inside surface of the infundibulum is ciliated (Edmondson 1940). While most are sessile, Collotheca libera (Zacharias, 1894), Collotheca mutabilis (Hudson, 1885), Collotheca pelagica (Rousselet, 1893), and Collotheca polyphemus Harring, 1914 are planktonic, Collotheca ornata (Ehrenberg, 1830) occurs in planktonic, benthic, and sessile forms, including on the carapaces of cladocerans (Sebestyén 1957), and Collotheca crateriformis (Offord, 1934) is benthic. Nearly all produce a clear gelatinous tube; none are colonial, but may colonize substrata forming dense groupings (Wallace & Edmondson 1986).

Collothecidae

description: Family Collothecidae Bartoš, 1959
Of the two genera comprising this family, Collotheca is numerically dominant; Stephanoceros has only two recognized species. Yet this family is commonly ignored in ecological studies and relatively few studies have been done on the general anatomy of these forms to come to meaningful conclusions regarding evolutionary trends and thereby their phylogenetic relationships (Edmondson 1944; Hochberg 2014; Hochberg et al. 2019; Meksuwan 2015; Meksuwan et al. 2013; Segers et al. 2010; Yang et al. 2019, 2021).
Unfortunately descriptions of the Collothecidae, especially in the morphology of lobes on the infundibulum and arrangement of cilia and/or setae on its margin, are inconsistent. Lobe morphology varies to such an extent that a definitive description covering all variations is nearly impossible. The issue of what constitutes a lobe presents a serious problem, at least in some species of Collotheca. For example, in the species Collotheca edmondsoni Bērziņš, 1951 there are three regions on the infundibular margin that possess setae, but these regions may not be recognized as lobes. Also definition and usage of the terms cilia and setae are inconsistent in the literature. In general we have retained the term(s) used by the original author; however, when the original descriptions are unclear, we use the terms cilia and setae to indicate short and long structures, respectively. Additionally, there has been no systematic study of the movements of the setae (Wright 1958).
Collothecaceans are raptorial and feed on a wide variety of prey, including diatoms, photosynthetic and colorless flagellates, dinoflagellates, ciliates, and rotifers (Bērziņš 1951; Bērziņš 1952; de Beauchamp 1912; Koste 1970; Valerio 1975; Wright 1958).
Diagnosis.Infundibulum bearing long setae and/or short cilia lining part or all of infundibular edge; infundibulum without lobes (the entire head lying within a single plane) or elaborated into lobes, bulbs, and/or tentacles (arms); these vary in number (0–7); mouth central; vestibulum present. Most sessile, but several planktonic species. Foot of sessile forms ending with an adhesive disk or peduncle. Tube, when present, a clear gelatinous matrix.

Stephanoceros

description: Stephanoceros Ehrenberg, 1832
The etymon of genus (G., stephanos, a crown) is an obvious reference to the shape of the anterior end. We follow Meksuwan et al. (2013) in recognizing two species in this genus, which may be distinguished based mainly on the shape of long lobes that project from their anterior end and the organization of their setae (cf. Koste 1978).
Diagnosis. Infundibulum of five, long, erect tentacles (lobes or arms) forming a basket, with short and long setae throughout the lobes, very long and radiating or set in numerous parallel rows along the length of each appendage. Adults sessile in tube of clear jelly with periodic ring-like constrictions; number of rings increasing with age. Lateral antennae minute. Foot = body length in young, but 2x body length in adult; peduncle short. Oviparous.

Tryphon erythrocephalus Gravenhorst, 1829; Polyoncus erythrocephalus [Roman, 1912];
Lathrolestes erythrocephalus [Aubert, 2000]; Perilissus erythrocephalus [Horstmann, 2001].
Diagnosis. This species differs from other members of the genus by its brownish tegulae, from the closely related L. obliquus it differs by the orange, swollen head (Fig. 31, 33), vein 2 m-cu intercepting the areolet at its middle, and the strongly impressed occiput.
Comments. This species has been placed in the genus Perilissus recently (Horstmann, 2001) but previously Aubert (2000) was correct in placing this species in the genus Lathrolestes. The character state of the occipital carina not reaching the hypostomal carina means that this species belongs in Lathrolestes.
