FIGURE 3. Specimens of Epistylis sp.2 on Namalycastis abiuma. (A). Entire worm, dorsal view; (B). Colony of Epistylis sp.2 on parapodial dorsal cirrus; (C). Solitary Epistylis sp.2 on parapodial dorsal cirrus; (D). Premature juvenile Epistylis sp. 2, on parapodial ventral cirrus; most specimens measured along longitudinal axis. White arrow points to folds of the posterior region of zooid; yellow arrow points to projecting tube formed by constriction of the peristomial lip, red arrow points to macronucleus.Published as part of Bharathidasan, Veeraiyan, Sarathy, Palanivel Partha, Murugesan, Perumal & Nogueira, João Miguel De Matos, 2021, New records for associations between peritrich protozoan ciliates (Ciliophora, Sessilida) and polychaete worms (Annelida) from off the southeastern coast of India, pp. 492-504 in Zootaxa 5071 (4) on page 497, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5071.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/572636
