Polymastix is an oxymonad flagellate with and almond or spindle-shaped body with four free anterior flagella arranged in two pairs. Flagella deflected backwards but not adherent to the cell body. Nucleus pointed anteriorly, reduced anterior pelta and slender axostyle generally not protruding posteriorly. Several species occurring in xylophagous insects such as Polymastix melolonthae from coleopterid larvae. Polymastix sp. from the cockroach Parasphaeria boleiriana from Brazil, anterior flagella, body covered with epibiontic Fusiformis bacteria (interference contrast).

Planoprotostelium (plan-owe-pro-toe-steal-ee-um) is a true myxomycete (or closely related to the true myxomycete), there is a flagellated stage typically with a single flagellum but occasionally a rod or filament may project from the front end of the cell. The flagellate body is very amoeboid and may have uroidal filaments projecting from the back end. The species may also become an amoeba (top right) and may produce a stalk and encyst at the top of that stalk. Contractile vacuoles (white) nuclei with nucleoli (some cells have more than one) are visible. Phase contrast.

Multicilia marina Cienkowski, 1881. Cells are normally spherical in a culture, about 30-40 microns in diameter, however,some cells attain an oblong or irregular form. The majority of cells possess 20-30 long flagella, 1.5-2 times the cell diameter. The flagella differ from those of other heterotrophic flagellates by very weak movements, resulting in a similarity to heliozoan axopods. The locomotion of M ulticilia is slow, rotatory, without any definitive direction, therefore moving cells normally lack anterior and posterior ends. Cells glide in one direction for a very short distance and may change direction rapidly (including moving backwards). The cell rolls over when changing direction. The temporary anterior flagellum is then stretched and clasped along the substratum, only its apex continues to oscillate. The temporary posterior flagellum shows the same behaviour. Other flagella perform irregular movements without any visible coordination. After changing the salinity, cells become free floating and continue a weak oscillation of the flagella.
