Body length from 86.4 to 95.8 Μm. Stocky body without neck constriction. Semicircular fivelobed head of seemingly threelobed appearance, epipleuria small and shifted to the dorsal part of the head present. Hypopleuria approximately three times longer than epipleuria and visible in the head outline. Hypostomium elliptical in shape. Two pairs of tufts of cephalic cilia, 8.515.4 Μm in length. Mouth ring 4.65.4 Μm in diameter located ventrally. Pharynx 20.428.3 Μm in length with two dilatations at the ends and distinct cuticular reinforcements in the anterior part. Furca of the length 12.815.4 Μm, parted externally, spaced apart from the body width. The adhesive tubes 8.110.4 Μm long, strongly curved outwards. Sensory bristles anchored by double keeled scales. The whole body, except for the ventral interciliary field, covered with onelobed scales with pronounced keels and spines, arranged in 2226 longitudinal alternating rows and 2934 scales in each row. Scales of triangular shape with rounded edges and posterior notches, located close and next to one another, in the middle body section touching the edges but never overlapping. Spines without lateral denticles. Posteriormost lateral spines straight, not longer and not thicker than the trunk spines, even slightly shorter than the longest trunk spines. Ventral interciliary field covered with minor, oval scales without keels, but with short, thin spines. Ventral interciliary terminal scales elongated, ovalshaped, with keels and long straight spines without lateral denticles. Ocellar granules absent.

is a small species. The body is stocky and neck narrowing is absent. The fivelobed head has semicircular shape with a developed cephalion (U1U4) and two pairs of pleurs (U3U10). The cephalion and hypopleuria are well visible in the body outline, while the epipleuria are small and shifted to the dorsal part of the head, and thus not visible in the outline (

). The hypopleuria are approximately three times longer than the epipleuria and are located at U4U10. This arrangement of plates creates an apparent impression of a threelobed head. Two pairs of cephalic ciliary tufts are present on the head. The first pair (three cillia per tuft) is located between the cephalion and the epipleuria (shorter cilia), the second pair of ciliary tufts (four cillia per tuft) arises between the epipleuria and the hypopleuria (longer cilia). Ocellar granules are absent. The mouth ring is situated ventrally at U2U5. In the mouth ring there are reinforcements typical of the genus

C) and spines without lateral denticles. On the head, neck, and trunk the scales show uniform shape. They are triangular with rounded edges and posterior notches; distinct keels begin directly behind the anterior scale edges and pass into the spines. The scales are arranged in 2226 longitudinal alternating rows, 2934 scales in each row. The scales are arranged directly next to one another, in the middle body section (U47 U73) they touch the edges of neigbouring scales, but never overlap. The longitudinal rows of scales begin directly after the cephalion and pleurs and run parallel to the furca base. The length and width of the scales gradually increase from the head, through the neck to the widest trunk part (U65U76), and subsequently gradually decrease towards the furca base (U87). The spines are curved, without lateral denticles and gradually tapering towards the end. Similarly to the scale size, their length increases to the widest trunk part and subsequently gradually decreases towards the furca base. There are two pairs of sensory bristles anchored at the doublekeeled scales. The anterior pair of the doublekeeled scales is located at U34U36, the posterior pair of them is located at U80U83.

On the ventral surface longitudinal ciliary bands start at U5 and end at U84. The interciliary field (U10U84) is covered with onelobed scales arranged close and next to one another. They are situated in alternating rows of 911 scales. The ventral field scales are oval without keels, with short, tiny spines without lateral denticles. A pair of ventral terminal scales, at U84U89, is significantly longer than the other ventral scales and of an oval, elongated shape (

Moreover, epipleuria are visible in the head outline and the pharynx is much wider (formula a: 3739%; m: 2936%; p: 3947%). The shape of the scales (rounded anterior edges and absent keels) is different than in the newly described species. Scales distribution is also different (2733 longitudinal alternating rows of scales, 2130 scales in each row). Furthermore, in

This species has a different body shape and proportions, and the pleurs are well developed and distinctly marked in the head outline. The scales in this species are onelobed without keels and with a shallow posterior indentation. Furthermore, the scales are longer (neck: 45 Μm; trunk: 58 Μm) and differently distributed (2027 scales in single longitudinal row and 1719 longitudinal alternating rows of scales). Additionally, the last lateral spines of

Other features that differentiate it from the new species are an extremely welldeveloped hypostomium which adjoins the anterior pharynx dilatation, the head shape and a broad furca base with adhesive tubes parallel to one another. Furthermore, this species has a different scale shape, with the neck and trunk spine lengths overlapping with the length of these structures in the newly described taxa (35.5 Μm and 34.5 Μm, respectively). Moreover, their distribution is different (2225 longitudinal alternating rows of scales, 2330 scales in each row). Another difference is considerably shorter pair of rearmost lateral spines (11.5 Μm).
