FIGURE 3. Schematic representation of Metadinophysis sinensis. Morphological variability of cell shape. (A–B) Cells in left lateral view from Camamu Bay. (C–E) Cells from Todos os Santos Bay. (C–D) Left lateral view. (E) Cell in ventral view showing the hypotheca with convex left dorsal plate (H2) and the right (H3) slightly concave in the median region. Note the deflected epitheca (E2, E3) and the curved cell, slightly twisted in the posterior region assuming a sigmoid shape. H1= first left dorsal plate; lpsp= left posterior sulcal plate; rpsp= right posterior sulcal plate; rvhp= right ventral hipothecal plate. Scale bars = 10μm
