Summary:Aspidiophorus oculifer Kisielewski, 1981 (Figure 2) Localities. A small pond close to lake Torneträsk at Abisko Scientific Research Station, Abisko, Lapland (N 68º 21’ 19’’; E 18º 49’ 21’’). Material. 1 specimen. TL, 120 µm; FL, 15 µm; AL, 6 µm; PhL, 30 µm; MD, 4 µm; DC, 19–20; DR, 40–42; VC, 9–10; TS, 3– 4 x 3 µm; VTS, 10 x 4 µm; PL, 0.5–1 µm. A small sized and rather stout species with five-lobed head and a pair of ocellar granules. Hypostomium weakly developed. Adhesive tubes short, stocky and thick, ending in a notch. Anterior sensory bristles apparently absent, posterior sensory bristles anchored by double keeled scales. Dorsal scales are rhomboidal with rounded edges and increase in size towards the posterior end. Ventral interciliary field with a pair of spined terminal scales and 9–10 columns of keels; scales apparently not developed. Ventral ciliation in two longitudinal bands not merging on the head, however a short longitudinal band of ciliary rows is present behind the mouth. Pharynx slightly ... : Published as part of Kånneby, Tobias, 2011, New species and new records of freshwater Chaetonotida (Gastrotricha) from Sweden, pp. 29-55 in Zootaxa 3115 on page 33, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.206874 ...
