Figure 1 in First record of two urotsylid ciliates (Protozoa: Ciliophora: Spirotrichea) from Japan expanding the circumscription of species

Figure 1. Morphology of Trichototaxis marina, (A) from life and (B–E) after protargol staining. (A) Ventral view showing representative body shape; (B) ventral view of a specimen, showing three left marginal rows; (C) ventral view of a specimen having two buccal cirri, cirri from the same anlage are connected by a broken line; (D) ventral view of a cell with three buccal cirri, arrow shows paroral membrane, arrowhead indicates one displaced buccal cirrus; (E) dorsal view of a specimen, showing dorsal kineties, macronuclear nodules, and micronuclei (arrowheads). AZM, adoral zone of membranelles; DK1, the leftmost dorsal kinety; DK2, the second dorsal kinety counting from the left; DKn, the rightmost dorsal kinety; F, fibres; FC, frontal cirri; FT, frontoterminal cirri; LMR1, the innermost left marginal row; LMR2, the exterior left marginal row; LMR3, the outermost left marginal row; MN, macronuclear nodule; MP, midventral pair; PT, pretransverse ventral cirri; RMR, right marginal row; TC, transverse cirri.
