FIGURE 1. Frontonia lynni n in Frontonia lynni n. sp., a new marine ciliate (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Hymenostomatida) from Qingdao, China

FIGURE 1. Frontonia lynni n. sp. live (A–D, F, G), after silver carbonate (H, I, K) and silver nitrate impregnation (E, J). (A) Ventral view of a typical specimen. (B) A slightly deformed individual. (C) Showing variations in body shape. (D) Part of pellicle, to show extrusomes. (E) Silverline pattern. (F, G) Left and apical views of the same specimen, to show the position of the contractile vacuole. Note that the body is strongly (!) flattened. (H, I) The infraciliature of the same cell, note the small oral apparatus. (J) Oral apparatus. (K) To show the anterior and postoral sutures. AL = argentophilic line; AS = anterior suture; P1–3 = peniculi 1–3; PK = postoral kineties; PM = paraoral membrane; PS = postoral suture; VK1–3 = vestibular kineties 1–3. Scale bars in (A, B) = 50 µm, in (H, I) = 40 µm, in (J) = 20 µm.
