Morphology:
The dominant motile cells are mainly round with a yellow-green plastid and a red eyespot. Vacuoles containing a regularly organised crystalline substance were sometimes observed. The haptonema is inserted between the hairy anterior flagellum that bears knob scales, unlike the naked posterior flagellum. The cell body is covered with small knob scales. The appendages are inserted near a pit and adjacent to the eyespot which is located on the external face of the plastid. Thylakoid lamellae are parallel. A pyrenoid was not observed. [Bendif et al. 2011]
