(A) A discharged microbasic p-mastigophore (white arrowhead) with the extrude shaft (black arrow) and an atrichous isorhiza (white arrow); (B) Small sub-spherical p-rhopaloid. Note the operculum (white arrow); (C) High magnification SEM of shafts and tubules of microbasic p-mastigophores. Note the spines (white arrow); (D) Sublimed surface of a discharged tentacle.
