Fig. 3 — Micrographs of two new species of subgenus Brevispina: Paraphysomonas ovalis, P. segmenta.(A – F)P. ovalis, (G – I)P. segmenta. (A) DIC light micrographs of live P. ovalis cells. (B – F)P. ovalis TEMs. (B) Mastigonemes (double arrowheads) visible on whole cell. (C) Flattened side of cell at base of cilia (arrowhead). (D) Side view of spine scales near cell surface. (E) Aberrant base-plate forms (*). (F) Single scales showing variation in density of base-plate rim. (G) DIC of live P. segmenta cells. (H) Scales, showing the ‘shoulder’ of thickened shaft as it meets thinner end of spine (arrow). Thickness of prominent dense base-plate margin is variable. (I) Scales on surface of cell. Scale bars: A and G, 5 μm. B and C, 1 μm. H, 0.2 μm. D – F and I, 0.5 μm.
