B, C Ventral (B) and dorsal (C) view of the holotype, showing the infraciliature and nuclear apparatus, arrows and arrowheads in (C) denote the micronuclei and two bristles of dorsal kinety 2, separately. D Macronuclear nodules and micronuclei. E Detailed ventral view of the anterior region, arrow shows the parabuccal cirrus and arrowhead marks the buccal cirrus. F Detailed dorsal view of the anterior region. G Detailed dorsal view of the posterior region. AZM, adoral zone of membranes; CC, caudal cirri; DK1, 2, dorsal kinety 1, 2; E, endoral membrane; FC, frontal cirri; FVC, frontoventral cirri; FVR, frontoventral cirral row; LMR1, 2, 3, left marginal row 1, 2, 3; Ma, macronuclear nodules; Mi, micronuclei; P, paroral membrane; RMR1, 2, right marginal row 1, 2.
