The cortical development of Diophryopsis hystrix, a small marine euplotid ciliate, was observed during binary division. The pattern of morphogenesis is generally similar to that of other Diophrys-like species, with the exception of the marginal cirrus, which develops in a unique manner in D. hystrix being formed from the posterior end of the dorsal kinety anlage, in a similar manner to the formation of the caudal cirri. In the small subunit (SS) rRNA gene sequence tree, Diophryopsis represents a distinct clade separate from Diophrys. Furthermore, our ontogenetic and SSrRNA gene sequence data both support the suggestion that the Diophrys complex is sister to Uronychia, and should be considered as a distinct subfamily within the family Uronychiidae, i.e. Diophryinae Jankowski, 1979, comprising Diophrys, Diophryopsis, and Paradiophrys. Diagnoses of the subfamilies Diophryinae and Uronychiinae are provided.
海洋缘毛目小眼虫属（Euplotidae）的纤毛虫小海毛虫（Diophryopsis hystrix）在二分裂过程中的皮层发育被观察到。形态发生模式通常与其他类似 Diophrys 的物种相似，但边缘触须除外，其在 D. hystrix 中以独特的方式发育，从前部背纤毛基体的后端形成，类似于尾触须的形成。在小亚基 (SS) rRNA 基因序列树中，Diophryopsis 代表一个与 Diophrys 不同的独特分支。此外，我们的个体发生和 SSrRNA 基因序列数据都支持 Diophrys 复合体与 Uronychia 是姐妹群的观点，并且应该被视为 Uronychiidae 科内的一个独特亚科，即 Jankowski，1979 年的 Diophryinae，包括 Diophrys、Diophryopsis 和 Paradiophrys。提供了 Diophryinae 和 Uronychiinae 亚科的诊断。
