Joenia is a parabasalid cristamonad flagellate (50-500 µm) with a conical rostrum partly covered with the flagellar area. Axostyle forming a calyx enveloping the nucleus and the flagellar area; axostyle trunk stout protruding posteriorly. Parabasal body composed of several branches bearing Golgi dictyosomes around the nucleus. Joenia annectens from Kalotermes flavicollis: anterior flagellar area, nucleus and axostyle tapering to the posterior end (Giemsa staining).
