Remarks: 

Second specimen. BL 2 mm plenty of vacuoles along margins. Uncoloured rhabdoid glands relatively dense across body. Immature despite the size. Has a furrow anterior to statocyst somewhat similar to Proporus, but not as deep and does not reach as far posteriorly as in the Proporus specimen (22-035) ID as Pharyngia is just a guess really.
