with red rhabdoids and endosymbiotic zoochlorellae distributed evenly except at the anterior end where the absence of zoochlorellae within the large lateral thickenings of the brain creates two lateral lighter spots. Male copulatory organ consists of a muscular seminal vesicle filled with sperm proximally and with the distal parts of prostatoid gland cells distally. Female copulatory organ consists of a gonopore, a vagina with a weak sphincter at its distal end, a seminal bursa, and one bursal nozzle. Setting the total body length to 100 units (100 U), the distances from the anterior tip of the body of major parts are as follows: statocyst 13 U, mouth 40 U, female gonopore 79 U, (facultative) male gonopore 83 U.
