Adineta cf acuticornis

Adineta cf acuticornis, specimen from (1), gliding, dorsoventral view. This morphotype is characterised by long spurs, the edges of which are parallel for half of its length at the base, then narrowing with a concave indentation and tapering (see images below). Interspace between the spurs. The rostrum, however, is different from the drawing of Haigh (1965)
