Drawing of Antetintinnopsis gracilis comb. nov. in vivo (A, D) and after protargol preparation (B, C, E). A Ventral view of a representative specimen, arrow shows the elongated ventral ciliary tuft. B, C Ciliary pattern of ventral (B) and dorsal (C) sides of the same specimen. D Ventral view of an extended specimen showing the details of cell proper. E Kinetal map of a morphostatic specimen. BM, buccal membranelles; CM, collar membranelles; Cp, cell proper; DK, dorsal kinety; LA, lateral ciliary field; LF, left ciliary field; Lo, Lorica; MN, Macronuclear nodules; PCM, prolonged collar membranelles; PK, posterior kinety; RF, right ciliary field; VK, ventral kinety. Scale bars = 40 μm (A, B), 30 μm (C)
