Hello
For the shape, size and long fingers, this rotifer is a lot like Trichocerca, however if you look - 00 - 0.30, we see that this rotifer has a finger longer than the other so we can ensure that it is a Monommata rotifer genus, possibly M. longiseta

It is a Diurella of the genus Tricocerca because le shorter toe is more than 1/3 the length of the longer one.It is possible to see a frontal spine and the shape of the rami but it should be interesting to see entirely the shape of the manubrium because it could give sometimes an idea of the specie.
