Scientific Name: Ergasilus von Nordmann, 1832
English Name: Not Known
Local/Bangla Name: Not Known
Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda

Order: Cyclopoida
Family: Ergasilidae
Description:
The general body structure of this organism bears a strong resemblance to that of cyclopoid creatures, which typically have a streamlined and compact shape. One notable feature that sets it apart is the antennae, which are not merely sensory appendages but possess prehensile characteristics. These antennae are capable of grasping or holding onto objects or prey, and they terminate in a claw-like structure. This adaptation allows the organism to interact with its environment in a unique and specialized manner, often used for capturing or manipulating objects, which is a distinctive trait compared to the typical antennae of other organisms.
