Joenoides, a parabasalid joeniid genus comprising at the time of writing one species, J. intermedia, which is a large flagellate (60-200 µm) with an anterior synchronously beating plume of flagella. The dome-shaped flagellar area is oriented to one side of the cell. At the base of the flagellar area two thick parabasal fibers lie transversally side by side The anterior capitulum of the axostyle surrounds the nucleus and the flagellar area. The stout axostyle traverses the cell and protrudes posteriorly. This species occurs in Hodotermes mossambicus. Joenoides intermedia anterior tuft of flagella, posterior protruding axostyle (interference contrast).
