Arrowheads show distal end of each caudal cirrus is forked, arrow shows the pouch along right side of peristome, double arrowhead points to the contractile vacuole. B Numerous irregular ellipsoidal to ovoidal granules extremely densely packed beneath dorsal pellicle. C Detail of dorsal side showing the cortical ampules surrounding the cilia.
