This free-living flagellate, which was isolated earlier from a marine habitat, can be grown axenically in a rich medium based on modified seawater. In the trophic stage, cells are predominantly elliptical and laterally flattened, but frequently change their shape (metaboly). Swarmer cells, which form only occasionally, are smaller in size and carry two conspicuous flagella of more than 2 times the body length. The mitochondrion, which is most likely single, is located peripherally. It is reticulated in shape and contains only a few lamellar cristae. Mitochondrial DNA is abundant and evenly distributed throughout the organelle. Morphological synapomorphies confirm the affiliation of the species with the genus Rhynchopus (Diplonemea, Euglenozoa). We discuss the characters that distinguish Rhynchopus from Diplonema corroborating the validity of the two genera.
