Description

Members of this group are ancestrally aerobic phagotrophic biciliates.^[1] They have tubular mitochondrial cristae and a hairy anterior cilium.^[1] They have a split right microtubular root,^[1] i.e. one of the two (left and right) microtubular roots that support the feeding groove is split in two.^[2] They lack a cytopharynx, and some of them have lost their anterior cilium.^[1]
