The cell shape is ovoid and slightly dorso-ventrally

and shallow, does not reach the antapex. It extends
about 2/3 onto the episome and continues into a 'fishhook-
shaped' apical groove. The rounded nucleus is situated
centrally and is slightly premedian. The cell contains
numerous greenish-brown chloroplasts that radiate
towards the centre of the cell. No eyespot is present.
Division cysts and cells in pairs were occasionally
observed. Length: 31-36 µm, width: 28-31 µm.
