Synchaeta tremula: swimming specimen from (4). Species with flat apical field. Focus plane on the dorsal side with conspicuous red double eyespot. The arrows point to the inner two of the total four well-developed coronal styles .
 
Synchaeta tremula: same specimen from (4); dorsoventral view. Focus plane on the outer two of the total four well-developed coronal styles (arrows). The arrowheads point to the lateral antennae near the base of the foot.
 
Synchaeta tremula: swimming specimen from (2). Focal plane on the two red frontal eyespots (arrowheads).
 
Synchaeta tremula: specimen from (2) , slightly compressed. Two images from the same specimen, different focus planes. Upper image: Focus plane on two red frontal eyespots. Nogrady/ Segers (2002) mention that (only?) marine or brackish specimens of the genus Synchaeta may have such frontal eyespots, but the specimens here are from fresh water. Lower image: focus plane on cervical eyespot. (2)
