| Notommata glyphura; dorsal view.Focus planer on the retrocerebral organ with yellow retrocerebral sac (RCS) and red eyespot. The arrow points to the opening of the dorsal antenna. Br: Brain. Specimen from (2). |

| Notommata glyphura; two aspects of specimen from (2), ventral view; different focus planes. Upper image: focus plane on the ciliary field and the slightly ventrally curved toes. |

Notommata glyphura; left: the arrowheads point to the openings of the ducts of the retrocerebral organ (RCO). Right: in a specimen being macerated for trophi analysis the Y-shaped duct of the RCO, which is is filled with granules becomes visible. (2) |
| |
 |
| Notommata glyphura; another aspect of the RCO and red cerebral eyespot. The duct of the RCO is partly filled with light refracting bodies ("bacteroides") (2) |
| |
 |
| Notommata glyphura; contracted specimen, slightly compressed by coverslide. The arrow points to the trophi of a bdelloid rotifer (presumably Philodina megalotrocha, which was found in the same sample) in the stomach of N. glyphura, which is a predator of bdelloid rotifers. Below the trophi/ stomach the distinct bladder of Notommata glyphura is visible. |
