Description:

This tiny bean shaped flagellate has a ventral groove almost as long as the cell, from which two flagella emerge. One is longer than the cell and is pointed posteriorly and attached to the substrate, while the other flagellum is pointed anteriorly. The specimen was collected from sediment at Chappaquoit Marsh, Massachusetts, USA. Photo by Banoo Malik.
