Macrotrachela sp. 1
Macrotrachela sp. 1: whirling. This morphotype looks pretty much like Macrotrachela habita, but shows some differences ( i.e. the number of nuclei in the vitellarium ; see below).
 
Macrotrachela sp. 1 : two aspects of the head of whirling specimen, focus plane on the divided upper lip (upper image) and rostrum and dorsal antenna (lower image).
   
Macrotrachela sp. 1 : Upper images: two aspects of the anterior part; focus plane on the rostrum of the same specimen while creeping. The appearance of the rostrum lamella may vary. Lower left image: anterior part; focus plane on the rostral cilia. Lower right: focus plane on the dorsal antenna.
 
Macrotrachela sp. 1 : the image of this compressed specimen suggests that this species has 4 nuclei in the vitellarium (arrowheads)
