Torynorrhina opalina are beetles from the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae.
Torynorrhina opalina can reach a length of 30–32 mm. The basic colour of this species is yellowis-orange, the elytra are elongate, subparallel and punctured and the legs are dark greenish.
The opalines are a small group of peculiar heterokonts, currently assigned to the family Opalinidae, in the order Slopalinida. Their name is derived from the opalescent appearance of these microscopic organisms when illuminated with full sunlight. Most opalines live as endocommensals in the large intestine and cloaca of anurans, though they are sometimes found in fish, reptiles, molluscs and insects. The unusual features of the opalines, first observed by Antoine van Leeuwenhoek in 1683, has led to much debate regarding their phylogenetic position among the protists.

Opalina is a genus of parasitic heterokonts found in the intestines of frogs and toads. They lack mouths and contractile vacuoles, they are covered with nearly equal flagelliform cilia, and they have numerous nuclei, all similar. All the species are obligate endosymbionts, most likely commensal rather than parasitic, in cold-blooded vertebrates. Its body is leaflike in shape. They lack cytostomes. They are saprozoic, consuming dead matter, which suggests their commensal role. They propagate by means of plasmotomy. The body is flattened, leaf-like and oval in outline and covered by thin pellicle. Nutrition is by pinocytosis. there are several small, spherical and similar sized nuclei present in the endoplasm. The nuclei are evenly distributed. the animal reproduces by longitudinal and transverse binary fission. it also shows reproduction by plasmotomy in which the cell division is repeated again and again without division of nuclei.the daughter cells encysted and pass out in the faecal matter of the host.
