Talk:Rotifer “The most distinctive feature of rotifers is the presence of a ciliated structure, called the corona, on the head. In the more primitive species, this forms a simple ring of cilia around the mouth from which an additional band of cilia stretches over the back of the head. In the great majority of rotifers, however, this has evolved into a more complex structure.”

This is incorrect. In the rotifer genus Cupelopagis, the corona is NOT ciliated. Males of most rotifers have reduced corona. The most significant feature of rotifers is the presence of mastax in females.

Therefore, I suggest to modify the above lines as: “The two most distinctive features of rotifers (in females of all species) are the presence of corona on the head, a structure generally ciliated and presence of mastax. In the more primitive species, corona forms a simple ring of cilia around the mouth from which an additional band of cilia stretches over the back of the head.”
