Hypotrichia ID help
Posted: Thu May 06, 2021 6:16 pm
A couple of hypotrichia that I need help with.
After going through the images of hypotrichia species inside the Foissner and Berger book I think this might be a Histriculus vorax. The book states it appears broadly rounded and sometimes notched with caudal cirri the same length as the marginal cirri. Quite large about 150µm in length

Once again looking through some web sites etc I think this maybe a Uroleptus, the posterior end is pointed or tail-like, and I'm not sure but I might be able to see the odd glance of two rows of midventral cirri. As for size I would say about 160µm. The video is a combination of 100 and 200X.
