although there is L4 bundle (bundle of hairs at the posterior lateral part of the abdominal segments), the mentum teeth are very atypical cricotopus. Due to the presence of longitudinal striae below the mentumteeth I think it may belong to Eukiefferiella spec.
What was the habitat? stagnant or flowing?

Perhaps you're right
This organism was living in a stagnant pond
