A, ventrolateral overview; B, laterodorsal to paraventral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 2–3; C, laterodorsal to paraventral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 7–8; D, laterodorsal to paraventral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 5–6; E, laterodorsal to paraventral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 9–10; F, laterodorsal to ventrolateral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 4–5; G, laterodorsal to ventrolateral view on right half of tergal and sternal plates of segments 6–7; H, epibiontic Ciliophora on sternal plates of segment 1; I, epibiontic Ciliophora on left sternal plate of segment 5. Scales: A, 100 μm; B–I, 10 μm.
