Characteristics
The identifying morphological synapomorphy for the group is the ‘preaxostylar’ structure of the non-microtubular “I” fibre - the I fibre of Trimastix is homologous to the non-microtubular portion of the oxymonad axostyle, and similar in cross-sectional appearance (see Simpson, 2003).
Preaxostyla is one of several groups within Excavata characterized by a lack of classical mitochondria.
