Diagnosis

Coats et al. 2012: Kim et al. (2010) recently characterized the infraciliature and of a tintinnid identified as Favella ehrenbergii. In considering related species, the authors recommended submerging F. panamensis as a junior synonym of F. ehrenbergii. We believe that synonymy to be ill advised without data on the kinetome of additional Favella populations having F. ehrenbergii and F. ehrenbergii-like lorica morphology.
