morphology and molecular phylogeny of staurojoenina mulleri sp. nov. (trichonymphida, parabasalia) from the hindgut of the kalotermitid neotermes jouteli.	staurojoenina is a large and structurally complex genus of hypermastigont parabasalians found in the hindgut of lower termites. although several species of staurojoenina have been described worldwide, all staurojoenina observed to date in different species of north american termites have been treated as the same species, s. assimilis. here, we characterize staurojoenina from the north american termite neotermes jouteli using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and phylogenetic analys ...	2013	23398273
phylogeny and ultrastructure of oxymonas jouteli, a rostellum-free species, and opisthomitus longiflagellatus sp. nov., oxymonadid flagellates from the gut of neotermes jouteli.	the biodiversity of oxymonadid flagellates in termite hindguts is not fully explored. many species have been differentiated only by morphological features, and small-celled species have been overlooked or ignored. our analysis of the dry wood termite neotermes jouteli by light and electron microscopy revealed the presence of two distinct morphotypes of oxymonads. the larger one matched the morphology of oxymonas jouteli, the only oxymonad species described from this termite. although it generall ...	2014	24878512
