(A–G and K–M) I. piratica (OUMNH C.29677, C.29679, C.29680) attached to N. gravida (OUMNH C.29678).
(A) Left lateral view of N. gravida with I. piratica (OUMNH C.29679, C.29680) attached posterodorsally.
(B and C) “Dorsal” and “ventral” views of overlapping I. piratica specimens OUMNH C.29679 and C.29680.
(D) Left lateral view of N. gravida, with valves and unidentifiable material removed, showing two specimens of I. piratica posterodorsally (OUMNH C.29679, C.29680) and one internally adjacent to eggs (holotype, OUMNH C.29677).
(E and F) “Dorsal” and “ventral” views of holotype of I. piratica.
(G and K) Dorsal views of N. gravida with valves removed and present, respectively, showing I. piratica specimens OUMNH C.29679 and C.29680 attached posterodorsally.
(L and M) I. piratica attached to N. gravida in rock prior to serial grinding (i.e., section along primary split of the rock), showing the complete specimen and a detail of I. piratica (OUMNH C.29679) on the external surface of carapace.
(H–J) Specimen of I. piratica (OUMNH C.29681) associated with the holotype of N. gravida (OUMNH C.29600) showing left lateral view of N. gravida (H), I. piratica in the posteroventral part of the domicilium (left valve and unidentifiable material removed) (I), and I. piratica (J).
