H Cytoplasmic extrusomes (arrowheads). I Lateral view, showing the dorsal brush bristles (arrowhead). J Detail showing the very loosely arranged left somatic kineties (arrowheads). K Food vacuole (arrow). L Extrusomes attached to the oral slit (arrow). M Details of cell surface, showing cortical granules (arrowheads) of the left side. N Showing the two macronuclear nodules. O Somatic cilia (arrowheads) of lateral rightmost side kineties. P Detail of the oral apparatus, showing two perioal kineties, one right and one left of the oral slit. Q, R Details of the anterior region of the right (Q) and the left (R) side of the holotype specimen, showing the ciliary and extrusome patterns. Ma macronuclear nodules.
