Flagellum membranous, unarmed. Remarks In the original description Muir (1924) states that the type series consists of 3 males and 4 females . However, we can only confirm the presence of 2 males and 2 females in the collection of the BPBM. Van Stalle (1991) makes the following comment in the remarks section of the species description of O. busoensis , “The reference “Type Nr 1092” in the original description is considered as a holotype designation.”
