Species: 65-112 μm long, 15-30 μm wide; cylindrical; highly plastic; numerous elongate (?) chloroplasts; paramylon (paramylum) bodies discoid (Kudo, 1966). Cell body fusiform, 58-80 x 22-30 μm, anterior rounded, posterior tapered into a short process, chloroplasts deeply lobed and forming chromatophore bands, 6-11 in numbers, each containing a large pyrenoid covered on both sides by a watchglass-shaped sheath of paramylon, nucleus spherical 13 μm in diam., flagellum 1-1.5 body length, stigma (eyespot) 5-6 μm in diam., muciferous bodies spindle-shaped, lying side by side in helical rows, paramylon granules elliptical (Phtomicrog.
