Trachelochaeta

Trachelochaeta Sramek-Husek, 1954 (ref. ID; 2014)

Class Polyhymenophora: Subclass Spirotricha: Order Hypotrichida: Suborder Stichotrichina: Family Holostichidae (ref. ID; 2014)
Family Orthoamphisiellidae (ref. ID; 7423)

[ref. ID; 2014]
Long, narrow, elongate body, narrowing anteriorly at the peristome region. 2 rows of marginal cirri and 2 rows of ventral cirri. The frontals consists of 2 parallel rows of cirri plus 3 anterior cirri. Transverse cirri present plus 4 long, delicate caudal cirri. The narrow AZM stretches halfway down the body length. 2, centrally situated macronuclei. Single species genus, originally isolated from polluted water in Czechoslovakia.

Descriptions

One long rightmost ventral cirral row six, but a high total number of eight ventral cirral anlagen 1-7, L1. Several enlarged frontal cirri. Three dorsal kineties with three caudal cirri. Origin of left (transverse) cirrus unknown. The morphogenetic pattern of forming long primary primordia in the frontal field is very similar to Orthoamphisiella stramenticola. (ref. ID; 7423)
