Haltidytes festinans
Length ( bottle ):
120 µm - 122 µm
Width:
45 µm
Width of the head ( five-lobed ):
33 µm - 34 µm
µm
Length of the furca:
Adhessive tubes:
Pharyx ( cylindrical ):
34 µm
Diameter of the mouth ( around ):
unknown
Dorsal scales:
no scales; dorsolaterally 3 groups each of 3 + 2 + 2 jump spines, which protrude even in resting position and slightly overhang the body
Ventral scales:
no scales; a pair of long jumping spines (140-144 µm), surpassing the body by 3/4 of its length and crossing each other
Oecology:
About digested sludge
Similar species:
H. crassus : more ventral spines, less lateral spines
