Description. Phagotrophic euglenid. Cells are 9-11.8 μm long, ventrally flattened and dorsally convex. There is a hyaline semicircular collar ( Fig. 1a View Fig , arrowhead) around the short anterior neck ( Fig. 1c, 1e View Fig , arrowheads). The cells have five dorsal ridges running along the cell ( Fig. 1b, 1d View Fig ). On the ventral side there are three fine ridges. The right and left ventral ridges arise at the neck. The left ventral ridge curves slightly from the anterior to the posterior forming an arc. The mid-ventral ridge arises from a small protrusion near the anterior end of the cell. Two flagella are unequal in length and are slightly thickened. The anterior flagellum is 1.2-1.3 times the cell length and the re- current posterior flagellum is 0.6-1.0 times the cell length ( Fig. 1e View Fig ). The flagellar reservoir lies anteriorly in the right hand side of the cell ( Fig. 1f View Fig , arrow) and the nucleus in the left hand side ( Fig. 1a View Fig ). The cells move by gliding.
