FIGURE 2. Photomicrographs of Apokeronopsis sinica n. sp. from live cells (A–E, I, J) and after protargol impregnation (K–O), and ventral views of live cells of A. crassa (F), A. bergeri (G) and A. wrighti (H). (A) Ventral view of the typical specimen. (B) Ventral view, showing the contractile vacuole (arrow). (C) Lateral view. (D) Ventral view of the anterior portion, arrows indicate the cilia of adoral zone of membranelles, arrowheads mark the paroral membranes and double-arrowheads depict the buccal cirri. (E) Lateral view to show the large cortical granules distributed on dorsal side. (I) Ventral view, to show the cortical granules: vermeil large (arrows), colorless large (arrowheads) and colorless small ones (double-arrowheads). (J) Ventral view, showing the cortical granules between the cirri rows. (K) infraciliature of the ventral side of a typical specimen. (L) Ventral view of the anterior portion, arrow indicates the paroral membrane and arrowhead marks the endoral membrane. (M) Ventral view of the anterior-right portion, arrowheads refer to frontoterminal cirri, and arrows show the buccal cirri. (N) Macronuclear nodules. (O) Ventral view of the posterior portion, note the transverse cirri (arrows). Scale bars in (A, B, C, F, G, H) = 100 µm, in (K) = 80 µm.
