The furrow is present in all living specimens when swimming and does not change when animals are anesthetized; the furrow remains in preserved animals. An occipital convexity (edge) is present just posterior of the corona on the dorsal side. The ventral lorica surface is smooth, but narrower in width than the dorsal surface: it is 80 µm long and has an inverted triangle shape with a 53 µm wide anterior border and a 19 µm wide posterior tip.

The corona is ∞-shaped (i.e., it resembles a number 8 lying on its side or a scuba diving mask) and ciliation is complete. Cilia appear to be of a mostly uniform length of 6– 18 μm. Small patches of presumable sensory cilia are present in the apical field. A ciliated sub-labium is present on the ventral surface just posterior of the mouth within the pectoral notch.

Terminal mouth is somewhat ventral in position, but still within the coronal field. The mouth leads to a 30 µm long ciliated buccal cavity that has an inverted pear-shape. The ciliated stomach has two salivary/gastric glands connected to the anterior part of the stomach. The intestine is 20 µm in total length and has two sphincters: one sphincter demarcates the transition from the stomach to the intestine; the second sphincter demarcates the transition from the intestine to the cloaca (

A stalk gland is present on the ventral side. The gland has at least three apical lobes (total length: 8 µm) and secretes a sticky thread (‘Gossesche thread’) approximately 80 µm long that passes through the cloaca to attach to a single amictic egg. At least two muscles insert on or close to the stalk gland and function to release or retract the adhesive thread, thereby moving the egg farther from or closer to the cloaca (
