A large Hystricochaetonotus. Head rounded to weakly five-lobed. Two pairs of sensory ciliary tufts, the posterior pair with very long cilia, up to 30 µm in length. Cephalion relatively small. Hypostomium absent. At least posterior dorsal sensory bristles present, emerging from specialized sub-triangular double-keeled scales. Furca straight with adhesive tubes constituting approximately 3/5 of the total furca length. Dorsal surface covered by three-lobed scales with barbed spines. Spines increase drastically in length ... : Published as part of Kånneby, Tobias, 2013, New species and records of freshwater Chaetonotus (Gastrotricha: Chaetonotidae) from Sweden, pp. 551-588 in Zootaxa 3701 (5) on pages 569-570, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3701.5.3, http://zenodo.org/record/247111 ...
