The identification here could be in error, some images of this organism show a flagellum, yet in all the specimens I observed none had any that I could see. Maybe under phase... :-k Anyway for the most part the morphology of the organisms match, with exception of the flagellum. :D

Great pictures Ken, I had no idea that some Euglenids were inclosed in a lorica. Thanks for making me look up more info :wink:
