): Size about 20 × 10 μm in stained preparations; shape elliptical to narrowly elliptical, longitudinally extended, abdominal side convex,dorsal slightly curved.Nucleus slightly posterior of body midline, about 6-11 μm from anterior body end with diameter about 4-5 μm, nucleolus globular visible in stained preparation with diameter about 3-4 μm. Paramylon bodies of 2-5 μm length present throughout the cell. A row (sometime two rows) of ejectosomes present posterior to the base of flagellum.Two flagella emerging out from a prominent small groove at the anterior body end, one flagellum slightly shorter than the other.
, Asia, and North America. The present study reports its presence from a small pond near Helay Khola watch tower, Lower Ghoramara Block, Sevok Beat, North Range, Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal (26°50'671"N 88°26'293"E). When the sample was collected the specimens were in high abundance and possibly responsible for the slightly greenish colour of the water due to its blooming.
