Line drawings of Tintinnopsis kiaochowensis in vivo (a, d) and after protargol staining (b, c, e) (from authors’ own work). a Lateral view of a representative individual; arrowheads mark elongated anterior cilia of right and left ciliary field. b, c, Ventral (b) and dorsal (c) views of the same specimen, showing ciliary pattern and macronuclear nodules; arrowhead denotes the left ciliary field. d Cell features; arrowheads mark elongated anterior cilium of the right and left ciliary fields; arrow shows peduncle. e Kinetal map of a morphostatic specimen. BM, buccal membranelle; CM, collar membranelle; DK, dorsal kinety; LA, lateral ciliary field; LF, left ciliary field; PCM, prolonged collar membranelle; PK, posterior kinety; RF, right ciliary field; VK, ventral kinety. Scale bars = 50 μm (a), 20 μm (b, c), 40 μm (d)
