. Lorica hemispheroidal, suboval in dorsal view, moderately wider than long. Lorica asymmetrical in dorsal view; width of right half from midline to edge noticeably greater than width of left half from midline to edge. Rim of lorica moderately thickened. Dorsal surface of lorica with prominent, curved ridge extending across entire width of lorica and encircling concave depression in surface surrounding lorica aperture. Because of dorsal ridge, lorica with acuminate, nearly triangular profile in lateral view. Posterior part of vallum reduced to slightly thickened ridge. Anterior and lateral parts of vallum moderately tall, sloping abruptly to posterior part of vallum; posterior edges of lateral parts nearly vertical. Vallum symmetrical in height; free edge straight, even, lacking projections of any sort. Long strip near base of inner wall of each anterolateral part of vallum heavily thickened to form slightly protruding fold. Rim of lorica aperture moderately thickened. Operculum subcuneate in dorsal view. Anterior edge of operculum moderately thickened to form narrow, ventral shelf; ventral shelf smooth, lacking processes.

One such capsule had a cluster of 16 small, oval cells nearby that may have been recently escaped swarmers of some kind. Each of these small cells had a single, dense, spherical nucleus similar to that of larger, encysted cells. A sample of 5 of the small cells had a mean length of 8.2±0.5 µm (7.48.7 µm) and a mean width of 5.7±0.6 µm (5.06.3 µm). The general appearance of the parasites suggests that they are either a species of chytrid fungus or amoeboid protozoan; however, positive identification will require more material than we had and observation of living parasites to elucidate their life cycle.
