Cilia 6 µm long; a glabrous region in middle of ventral side (Fig. 3H), separating right kineties from left kineties. Movement by slow gliding on substrates.</p>

Rightmost four kineties surpassing cytostome and bending to left, with inner three interrupted by perioral kineties (Fig. 3M). Equatorial fragment composed of zero to nine kinetosomes. Terminal fragment loosely arranged along anterior margin, comprising of five to seven kinetosomes (Fig. 3C, N).</p>

Cell containing lots of tiny yellow granules in middle of cell (Fig. 5G) and several diatoms when collected (Figs 4B, 5J, K), which renders cytoplasm somewhat yellowish; but after maintained in lab for 24 h, it turning greyish or colourless. One small patch-like orange pigment spot positioned at anterior left of cell (Fig. 5G). Cytostome located at anterior quarter of cell and surrounded by 16–21 nematodesmal rods (Fig. 5E). About ten contractile vacuoles, 3–5 µm in diameter, irregularly distributed in ventral side (Figs 4A, 5A, G). Single ellipsoidal macronucleus (Fig. 5G), centrally located, about 28 × 20 µm in vivo. Cilia 7 µm long.</p>
            <p>Totally 31–38 somatic kineties in ventral side, consisting of 10–16 right kineties, four postoral kineties, and 15–19 left kineties (Figs 4E, 5F, I). Equatorial fragment undetected. Four to eight (mostly five) terminal fragments arranged along anterior end of rightmost somatic kinety (Figs 4F, 5H).</p>

            <p> Odontochlamys alpestris biciliata was first reported by Foissner, Agatha &amp; Berger (2002) based on the populations from Curaçao Island and Saudi Arabia. The original description is comprehensive and includes all essential diagnostic characters in detail. Therefore, we just supply a brief description of the Chinese population here. </p>
            <p>Description of the Chinese population: Cell size about 30–45 × 15–25 µm in vivo. Outline ovoid or reniform with both ends blunt rounded (Fig. 6A, D, E, G, H). Cytostome located in anterior quarter of cell, surrounded by about six nematodesmal rods. Two contractile vacuoles, 3–4 µm in diameter, diagonally positioned at anterior and posterior third of cell, and alternately contracting (Fig. 6K). Single macronucleus ellipsoid, 14 × 9 µm in size, centrally heteromerous.</p>
            <p>Totally ten somatic kineties, comprising of invariably five right and five left kineties (Fig. 6B, E, F, J). Equatorial fragment usually undetectable, if detected, comprising up to four kinetosomes (Fig. 6J). Terminal fragment apically located, composed of two to four kinetosomes (Fig. 6C, L). Oral ciliature composed of two circumoral and one preoral kineties. Preoral kinety continuous (Fig. 6B, F, J), but seldom segmented (only detected in one out of 25 individuals; Fig. 6M).</p>
