FIGURE 1. Photomicrographs of T. huangmeiensis sp. n. found on redclaw crayfish (a) Cherax quadricarinatus collected from suspected fish farm. (b) Epistylis sp. as a substrate to T. huangmeiensis sp. n.; Abbreviations: Ep = Epistylis, Th = T. huangmeiensis sp. n. (c) Elongated pyramidal shaped and corrugated cell body of T. huangmeiensis sp. n., arrowhead showing macronucleus. (d) Apical part of the cell body showing single contractile vacuole. (e) Apical border of the cell body showing fascicle of finger-like tentacles. (f) Indicating basal plate which was concave up-word and gently dipped inside the cell body, under this basal plate transparent stalk is present with longitudinal striations. (g) Showing junction of Epistylis sp. as a substrate to Tokophrya sp., slightly protrude outward. Scale bars: b=100 µm, c=10 µm, d=5 µm, e=5 µm, f=5 µm, g=3 µm.
