Description of Dimorphids:
Circumscription: Helioflagellates, with two or four similar flagella, very elongate kinetosomes. Flagellates in trophic stage with axopodia radiating from an amorphous microtubule organizing centre located between kinetosomes and nucleus. Microtubules tending to be in square packing. With tubular mitochondrial cristae. Ultrastructural identity: Mitochondria with tubular cristae possibly ramicristate. With concentric extrusomes. Dictyosomes present. Microtubules supporting pseudopodia in clusters, tightly packed sometimes in square pattern, arising from an amorphous structure associated with flagellar basal body. Flagella with hairs, scales, or other excrescences also without paraxonemal structures. Basal bodies very long, with fibrous and non-microtubular anchorage materials and linked to nucleating site for pseudopodial axonemes.Synapomorphy:
