Description
Chaetonotus (Chaetonotus) cf. greuteri (sp. C5) Remane, 1927
Localities. A pond near Galt Creek, Puslinch district.
Material. 2 specimens.
A minute and elongate animal. Head three-lobed with one pair of sensory ciliary tufts. Rudimentary epipleuria present with hypopleuria sticking out behind. Dorsal spines very short, somewhat longer in the trunk region. A pair of spines at the base of the furca, two to three times as long as the spines of the trunk. Ventral field with a pair of terminal scales. Pharynx cylindrical, rather thick.
Unfortunately the material was too scarce to fully describe this apparently new species. The species is morphologically closely related to Chaetonotus (C.) greuteri Remane, 1927.
