FIGURE 2. Photomicrographs of Metacystis similis nov. spec. from living specimens (A–G) and after protargol staining (H–I). A. Living individuals under low magnification. B-D. Lateral view of two typical individuals, arrows show the caudal vacuole. E. Food vacuoles and granules. F. Detail of the body surface; rectangular pellicle meshes. G. Detail of the pellicle structure; ridges on the cell surface (arrowheads). H. General infraciliature. I. Buccal area, double arrowhead refers to the circumoral ciliature. Scale bars: 50 µm (Fig. A); 30 µm (Figs. B, C, H).Published as part of Zhang, Xiumei, Ji, Daode, Zhang, Qianqian & Li, Chenghua, 2015, Description and phylogeny of a new prostomatid, Metacystis similis nov. spec.
