| Summary: | Figure 2. Holosticha antarctica nov. spec. from life (A, E) and after protargol impregnation (B–D, F–H). (A) Ventral view of a typical specimen. (B, C) Ventral and dorsal views of the same specimen, to show the general infraciliature. (D) Detailed structure of buccal area, arrow marks the distal end of adoral zone. (E) To show different body shapes when crawling on a substrate surface. (F–H) Caudal part, to show the different appearance of the cirral patterns. Note that the transverse cirri are sometimes mixed with the marginal row. AZM, adoral zone of membranelles; BC, buccal cirrus; DK, dorsal kineties; EM, endoral membrane; FC, frontal cirri; FTC, frontoterminal cirri; LMR, left marginal row; Ma, macronucleus; Mi, micronucleus; MVR, midventral rows; PM, paroral membrane; RMR, right marginal row; TC, transverse cirri. Scale bars: 150 Mm (A, E); 100 Mm (B, D).
