| The animal is attached, as in the closely allied genus Tintinnus, by a peduncle to the bottom of the lorica. |
| The sessile amoeba is encased in a hyaline, flattened lorica, which holds the MCB and connects to the meroplasmodium. |
| Sometimes the mouth becomes twisted and the lorica is therefore bilateral. |
| The plesiomorphic condition in both adults and larvae of the lorica seems to be a thin lorica with many plicae. |
| Stiff cuticles are simple to recognize, and loricate genera can often be recognized based upon lorica shape alone. |
| The legionary soldiers based at Exeter wore a type of body armour called lorica segmentata made from strips of iron, leather straps and copper alloy fittings. |
