Examination of endocommensal ciliates from Eupolytoreutus from Cameroon, revealed 2 types of ciliary pattern: the first, characterized by an apical secant pattern on the right side of the cell, is shown by members of the genus Nyctotherus; for the 2nd, characterized by the presence of an apical and postoral secant system on the right side of the cell, Paranyctotherus n.g. is erected. 4 new species of ciliates are described and illustrated: N. cardiostomatus n.sp., N. polymorphus n.sp., N. dupouyi n.sp. and P. albareti n.sp.
