Line drawing of the novel ciliate class Cariacotrichea.

Line drawings of ‘ca. Cariacothrix caudata’, based on FISH-SEM micrographs from 11 specimens. Length of cells about 30 µm. a: Ventral view showing, inter alia, the densely ciliated archway kinety posteriorly ending in two long caudal cilia. b: Side view showing the rostrate anterior body portion. AK – archway kinety, AO – adoral organelles, CC – caudal cilium, CR – ordinary somatic ciliary row, MA – macronucleus, MI – micronucleus, OC – oral cavity, R – ridge. Scale bar: 10 µm.
