FIGURES 1–7 in Morphology and infraciliature of a new marine ciliate, Cinetochilum ovale n. sp. (Ciliophora: Oligohymenophorea)

FIGURES 1–7. Morphology and infraciliature of Cinetochilum ovale n. sp. from live cells (1–3) and after protargol impregnations (4–7). (1, 2) Ventral views of two typical individuals. (3) Lateral view. (4) Structural details of oral area. Arrow marks the extra dikinetids near the anterior end of somatic kinety 1, and double-arrowheads indicate the anteriormost row in membranelle 1, which is detached from the remaining two rows. (5, 6) Ventral (5) and dorsal (6) views of the infraciliature. Arrow indicates the anterior suture. (7) Ventral view of a divider, showing the nature of 3-rowed membranelle 1 (arrowhead). Cy = cyrtos-like structure; M1-3 = membranelles 1–3; Ma = macronucleus; Mi = micronucleus; PF = postoral kinetofragment; PM= paroral kinety; Sc = scutica; SK1, 2, n-1 and n = somatic kinety 1, 2, n-1 and n. Scale bar = 10 µm.
