, 123–135 µm in total body length. Body width 25–30 μm, 18–24 μm, 28–38 μm and 15– 18 μm at head, neck, trunk and base of furca, respectively. Head five-lobed with two pairs of sensory ciliary tufts. Cephalion and pleurae present. Furca straight, 18–20 μm in length, with thick, rather stumpy, rigid adhesive tubes. Dorsal body surface covered by round to suboval overlapping scales, anterior parts of which tend to be fused with the body surface. Scales are distributed in 17–20 dorsal columns with 27–30 scales in each. Dorsal scales bear rather thin, almost hair-like, deeply bifurcated spines. The proximal part of each spine, gives a dotted appearance of the dorsal surface at specific optical sections; the distal bifurcation comes at an angle, varying between close to 90 degrees and 150 degrees. Each spine of the bifurcation is simple, e.g. not dentate. Ventral interciliary area with small, round to suboval keeled scales, which fuse with the body surface towards the animal’s anterior end. Ventral terminal scales keeled and suboval in shape and overlapping. Seven to eight simple ventral spines can be seen through the caudal incision. Ventral ciliation in two separate longitudinal bands. Mouth subterminal. Pharynx 34–35 μm in length, widens slightly towards the posterior end.

Dorsal body surface covered by round to suboval scales, the anterior part of each scale seem more or less fused with the body surface. The median columns of scales is more or less straight, while columns on either side of the median are curved, progressively approaching parallelism with the lateral body outline. Scales are distributed in 17–20 dorsal columns with 27–30 scales in each. The total number of scale columns is 30–35. Developed scales are 2–3 μm in length and 2–3 μm in width and appears slightly smaller anteriorly. Dorsal scales bear rather thin, almost hair-like, deeply bifurcated spines. The proximal part of each spine can be described as a peduncle, much like in

, originating from the posterior part of each scale, and gives a dotted appearance to the dorsal surface at specific optical sections. The “peduncle” measures 2–3 µm in length, and appears slightly thicker than the distal spine. The distal part of the spine is deeply bifurcated and measures 6–8 µm, and comes at an angle, varying between close to 90 degrees to approximately 150 degrees depending on the amount of pressure put on the animal, from the “peduncle”. The bifurcated spines are most easily viewed in the lateral areas. At the posterior end a pair of simple, slightly curved parafurcal spines, 14–16 μm in length. Dorsal scales and spines of the furcal region tend to be more reduced than the scales and spines of the other parts of the dorsal body surface. The scales of the ventrolateral areas becomes smaller towards the ciliary bands, spines are of a similar fashion to those of the dorsal side.

In the posterior end a pair of keeled suboval strongly overlapping ventral terminal scales, 6–8 μm in length and 4–5 μm in width. Posterior to the ventral terminals scales 7–8 simple hair-like spines (their scales could not be observed; probably very small), 10–14 μm in length; they are confined within the caudal incision, the outer spines are curved towards the furcal branches, while the median spines are more or less straight or only slightly curved towards the furcal branches.
