| Cephalodella ventripes; from this image of a specimen which is compressed for trophi analysis it becomes evident that there are two cerebral eyespots. (4) |

 |
| Cephalodella ventripes, lateral view. A species with a cerebral eyespot ,the dorsal lorica may protrude beyond the ventrally orientated foot. The mouth has some "tweezer"-like structures for picking up small alge (arrowheads). |

| Cephalodella ventripes, dorsal view, between some diatoms. The cerebral eyespot is a transversal line. The groove between the plates is clearly visible on the distal part of the lorica in this focal plane. |
