Laterally compressed. The right and left sides of the inflexible pellicle have curved longitudinal ciliated grooves separated by broader flat ridges. Somatic ciliature restricted to 13-14 longitudinal kineties more on the right than the left surface. The oral aperture is in anterior 1/3 of body in a shallow depression. The cytopharynx is supported by fine transverse trichites. There are 3 short membranelles on the left of the cytostome and a short undulating membrane on its right. There is a small group of unciliated basal bodies posterior to the undulating membrane. This is a primordial stomatogenic field. There are many fusiform peripheral extrusomes. Macronucleus elongate ovoid, centrally placed with single micronucleus. The contractile vacuole is centrally located. P. dubius feeds on cyanobacteria giving it a green to green-blue color. Collected from a freshwater stream near Boise, Idaho. DIC.
