(A) Fully formed cyst showing a characteristic spine on the preseptum (black arrow). Note the postseptum is only folded once. Scale bar = 32 µm. (B) Fully formed cyst showing a folded larva within. Note the characteristic halo (arrow) surrounding the folded larva. Scale bar = 28 µm. (C) Posterior region of the postseptum showing two terminal spines (black arrows) Scale bar = 12 µm. (D) Preseptum showing laterally compressed proboscis (arrow) in relation to the ventral side (VS). Scale bar = 15 µm.
