From LoveToKnow 1911

ACINETA (so named by C. G. Ehrenberg), a genus of suctorial Infusoria characterized by the possession of a stalk and cupshaped sheath or theca for the body, and endogenous budding. O. Biitschli has separated off the genus Metacineta (for A. mystacina), which reproduces by direct bud-fission.
