Ciliate species range in size from as little as 10 Âµm to as much as 4 mm in length, and include some of the most morphologically complex protozoans. In most systems of taxonomy, Ciliophora is ranked as a phylum, under either the kingdom Protista or Protozoa. In some systems of classification, ciliated protozoa are placed within the class Ciliata, (a term which can also refer to an unrelated genus of fish).
