Geleiidae is a family of karyorelict ciliates.[3] It is sometimes synonymized with family Aveliidae.[4][1][2]
Geleiidae are very large ciliates (200 μm to 5 mm), with a cylindrical shape, and a thinner, often beak-shaped, apical region. They are characterized by a ventral oral region, with buccal infraciliature organized into one intrabuccal kinety and an extrabuccal row.[4][1][2]
The family name is based on Geleia, the type genus.
