Synchaeta tremula: swimming specimen from (1). In contrast to Synchaeta oblonga (lateral antennae on posterior third of the trunk) the lateral antennae are near the base of the foot. This specimen is characterized by the distinct foot with 2 conical toes. |

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) |
