Description Cells ovoid, dorsoventrally flattened. Epicone 7–10 μm wide, anteriorly flat, with the right anterior corner ~ 90°, the left corner extended, approx 30–45°. Cingulum beginning 0.2–0.3 of the cell length from the apex, initially ascending, continuing almost horizontally around the cell; proximal end slightly higher than distal. Hypocone rounded, slightly asymmetrical. Sulcus initially narrow, widening at the posterior end. Apical groove absent. A narrow ventral ridge running between the two points of flagellar insertion. Two pusules present: one obvious, c. 2 μm diam., to the right of the origin of the sulcus; the second less obvious, also c. 2 μm diam., just below and to the left of the proximal end of the cingulum. Nucleus in the posterior part of the hypocone, crescent-shaped or oval, containing very fine chromosomes. One orange-yellow, round, globular inclusion, possibly an eyespot, diameter 6–8 μm. Division by binary fission in the motile cell.  [details]
