Figures

Fig. 3A–M. Trochilioides recta from life (A, B, E–G, K) and after protargol impregnation (C, D, H–J, L, M). A – ventral view of a typical individual; B, F – right view, arrowhead (F) indicates contractile vacuole; C, D – to show infraciliature, arrows mark kinetosome-like granules at base of podite; E, G – ventral view, arrowheads (E) point to tooth and arrow (G) shows podite; H – anterior portion, double arrowheads point to circumoral kineties, arrow refers to preoral kinety, arrowhead indicates terminal fragment; I – posterior portion, arrow marks kinetosome-like granules at base of podite; J – anterior portion, arrows point to postoral kineties; K – details of cytoplasm, arrows show contractile vacuoles, arrowheads refer to nematodesmal rods; L – right portion of ventral side, arrowhead points to equatorial fragment; M – infraciliature. Co – circumoral kineties, EF – equatorial fragment, FvK – frontoventral kineties, Ma – macronucleus, Pr – preoral kinety, TF – terminal fragment. Scale bars: 20 µm (A, C), 15 µm (E, G, M).
