Summary

The ultrastructure of a uniciliate and a quadruciliate receptor in the anterior end of the larva of Austramphilina elongata is described on the basis of serial sections. The uniciliate receptor has numerous branched and interconnected microvilli at its surface, several rings forming the electron dense collar, and cross-striated rootlets diverging from the basal body of the cilium. The quadruciliate receptor has four short club-shaped sensory cilia and a single electron-dense collar.
