Fig. 2A–K. Photomicrographs of Pinacocoleps pulcher (Spiegel, 1926) in vivo (A–H) and after protargol impregnation (I–K). A, B. Lateral view of the broad side. C. Free swimming individual to show caudal cilium. D. Lateral view of the broad side to show contractile vacuole. E. Lateral view of the narrow side. F. Teeth of anterior second plate. G. Anterior main plate. H. Posterior second plate with a caudal plate. I. Lateral view of a typical individual (arrowheads indicate somatic ciliature). J. Apical view showing oral ciliature. K. Caudal view (arrowhead denotes basal body of caudal cilium). AMP – anterior main tier plate, AO – adoral organelles, AS – anterior spines, ASP – anterior secondary tier plate, CC – caudal cilium, CK – circumoral kineties, CP – caudal plate, CV – contractile vacuole, Ma – macronucleus, Mi – micronucleus, OB – oral basket, PC – perioral ciliature, PS – posterior spines, SK – somatic kineties, SL – silverline. Scale bars: 50 μm (C), 30 μm (A, B, E, I), 20 μm (K), 10 μm (F–H, J).
