—Plate 1, fig. B
Diagnosis: Size about 65 μm long and 15 μm wide in field specimens, while 50 × 15 μm in laboratory cultures. Body narrowly conical. Peduncle usually <10 μm long and 2 μm wide. Contractile vacuole and cytoproct on dorsal wall of vestibulum slightly posterior of oral bulge. On average 63 silverlines from oral end to anlage of aboral ciliary wreath and 16 silverlines from anlage to scopula. Polykinety 2 shortened posteriorly, Polykinety 3 composed of three minute kineties. Freshwater, possibly restricted to tank bromeliads and not colonizing any host.
Remarks: diagnosis according to Foissner et al. (2010). Foissner et al. (2010) points that this species is extremely contractile, especially in the posterior third and possibly restricted to bromeliad tanks.
