I'm usually hesitant to name a protozoan down to the species level... but we can certainly see the "fossa" and the "many scattered contractile vacuoles" in the last three photos... Trachelius ovum
Ah, well, about that...there are now 2 genera in Tracheliida, and each contains a single species, and, I'm sorry to say, they are fairly difficult to tell apart!
