Eothinia elongata (Ehrenberg, 1832) Several fairly large specimens were found in the sample. All investigated specimens had trophi of bdelloid rotifers in their stomach. The species has not been recorded from Greenland previously, but has been found in Europe (Glascott 1893; Berzins 1949, 1978; Wulfert 1960), Russia and former Soviet Union (Kutikova 1962, 1970), Asia (Fernando & Zankai 1981; Sharma & Pant 1985), Australia (Koste & Shiel 1980, 1991), North America (Harring & Myers 1922; Chengalath & Koste 1989) and Brazil (Segers & Dumont 1995). It is considered a rare cosmopolite. The species is distinguished by its trophi morphology combined with the presence of one large salivary gland, and one cerebral and two frontal eyes. The recorded specimens were generally typical but deviated in some details in the trophi. Trophi from two specimens were prepared for SEM (Fig. 2). The rami are large and slightly asymmetrical, with long, pointed alulae (Fig. 2 A–D).
