Figs 1–5. Light microscopic and fine structure images of Cochliopodium megatetrastylus n. sp. 1–3. Morphology of living C. megatetrastylus n. sp. during locomotion. 1 – locomoting amoebae with anterior hyaloplasm fringe; 2 – morphology of the relatively short subpseudopodia that become adhesive laterally and posteriorly, and attach to the substratum; 3 – aggregation and fusion of amoebae (inset shows a large and nearby small cyst). All scale bars: 20 µm; 4 – fine structure of a cell in cross-section showing the nucleus (N) and prominent nucleolus (Nu), vacuole (V), emergent pseudopodia (Ps) from the ventral surface, and showing scales (arrow) covering the dorsal surface. Scale bar: 2 µm; 5 – tubulo-cristate mitochondria (M) near the cell periphery, coated with surface scales (arrows) shown in profile. Double-headed arrows indicate the distance (~ 0.2 µm) between the bases of a pair of opposite styles that support the apical collar. Scale bar: 0.5 µm.
