Surprisingly small, Size 4.8 mm x 4mm. Lateral palps near aboral edge.<\/p>\n

Tempotortus unguireduvius<\/em> posesses similar morphology to T. torii<\/em>; large (for its size) lateral palps near the aboral edge, though The miniscule oral groove is larger. These chronovorans were discovered by Maryland field researcher L. Schuhart (FORC) when they arrived as a gift. At first glance however, they were mistaken for a bag of nail clippings. It is unknown what host this diminutive entity might have attached to in the wild. It is possible that T. unguireduvius travels via postal carriers in order to find new hosts. Despite their small size, their integument is stiff and sharp, befitting their species name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
