Rädertier: Ptygura longicornis bispiscata

[Goldfuss]

Hallo,
Rotifer of the genus Ptygura, collected in acidic waters. I have some doubts about its identification, it could be Ptygura brachiata (its dimensions are noticeably larger) which also has "hooks". In fact, there is some debate in the literature about this species, given the possibility that it is a variety of Ptygura brachiata rather than Ptygura longicornis.
Liebe Grüße
