It was shown in a detailed study of the cortex and buccal organelles of Espejoia that, at the ultrastructural level, the general plan of organization of this ciliate conforms to that of Tetrahymenina. Specific variations seen in the cortex and membranelles bring out the very pronounced affinities of Espejoia to the genus Glaucoma and other related ciliates. In view of the foregoing and on the basis of reccent findings on morphogenesis, we confirm the taxonomic position of Espejoia mucicola among Tetrahymenina in the family Glaucomidae.
对埃斯佩霍虫（Espejoia）的皮层和口器细胞器进行的详细研究表明，在超微结构水平上，这种纤毛虫的总体组织结构与四膜虫目（Tetrahymenina）一致。在皮层和小膜中观察到的特定差异揭示了埃斯佩霍虫与青光眼属（Glaucoma）及其他相关纤毛虫之间非常显著的亲缘关系。鉴于上述情况，并基于最近关于形态发生的研究结果，我们确认黏液埃斯佩霍虫（Espejoia mucicola）在四膜虫目中青光眼科（Glaucomidae）的分类地位。
