| Lower left image: ventral view of the ciliary field and the rake apparatus with 4 U-hooks on each blade. Another morphotype with NoUH 4/4 is Adineta sp.21. |
| Lower right: foot with relative long spurs. The morphology (dimensions) of these spurs is different from the morphotype Adineta sp.21, which has the same NoUH. |
