Fig. 4. 49. A. Prolopliomouas tocopola Cleveland, showing axostyles, 

 nucleus, food vacuoles; xl200 (after C). B. Torqitetiyinpha octoplus 

 Brown, showing parabasal bodies and fibrillar axostyle which surrounds 

 the nucleus anteriorly; xl645 (after B.). C. Lophomonas striata Biitschli, 

 showing axostvlar filaments which form a "calyx" enclosing the nucleus; 

 adherent bacteria (Fusiformis lophomonadis Grassc) indicated on body; 

 xl475 approx. (after Kudo). D. Microjoenia ratcliffei Brown, showing two 

 parabasal bodies, axost^le, nucleus, and anterior rows of blepharoplasts; 

 x2380 (after B.). E. Koifoidia loriculata Light, showing bundles (loriculae) 

 of flagella; xl75. F. A', loriculata, anterior end of body showing nucleus 

 suspended in membranous "suspensorium," bases of several loriculae, and 

 body fibrils extending into cytoplasm; x750 (after L.). 



analogous to the axostylar bundle in Torque?iympha and Lophomonas. 

 The general organization, although more complex, is similar to that in 

 Lophomonas. The type genus is Kofoidia Light (183; Fig. 4. 49, E, F), 

 reported from one species of Kalotermes. 



Suborder 2. Trichonymphina. The retention of flagella and associated 

 structures in fission is characteristic. Organization is basically bilateral, 

 and there are either two or four sets of organelles which are separated 

 equally in fission. Encystment is known for species of Macrospironympha 

 and Trichonympha in the wood roach (39), but not for the Trichonym- 

 phina of termites.
