EUGLENOPHYTA 259
6.15, 6.16). During the warm summer months the damselfly nymphs and C. libellee live separately. With the onset of winter, the Colacium cells attach to the cuticle of the rectum of the damselfly larvae, forming a conspicuous green plug that colors the terminal four segments of the abdomen dark green. In the rectum, the Colacium is in a palmelloid state, lacking a flagellar swelling and eyespot. As the peripheral waters of the lake freeze, the damselfly nymphs move to deeper water. Here the damselfly nymphs form a protected, motile, translucent microhabitat for the Colacium; the damselfly nymphs probably also provide a source of nutrients for the Colacium cells, which helps the alga to survive the unfavorable winter conditions. In spring, the damselfly nymphs swim to warmer water, at which time the Colacium cells swim out of the rectum to establish a free-living existence in the summer. If algal-free damselfly nymphs are placed in water with C. libellae, the alga will establish itself within 36 hours in the damselfly nymph rectum. Other species are not able to infect the nymphs (Willey et al., 1970, 1973; Willey, 1972; Rosowski and Willey, 1975).
