Notosolenus (no-toe-so-lean-us) a rigid gliding euglenid. This species, Notosolenus ostium one of the more easily recognised and common species (the deep longitudinal groove is the diagnostic feature). There are two flagella arising within the flagellar pocket, one projects out the front and is easy to see, the other is usually short, directed to the rear, and difficult to see - except perhaps when the cells are turning. With a mouth. Consume algae. Phase contrast.

Notosolenus (note-owe-so-lean-us) ostium Larsen and Patterson, 1990. Cells are 18 - 65 microns long and have a small ingestion organelle, which is obliquely oriented and visible on the ventral face of the cell. The cells have a longitudinal dorsal groove and are slightly concave on the ventral face. The cells are with dorsally a median longitudinal groove, and ventrally a wide groove and four fine stripes. Two flagella emerge from the flagellar canal and are in unequal length. The anterior flagellum is about 1 - 1.5 times the length of the cell and the posterior flagellum is about 0.2 to 0.6 times the length of the cell. The organism contained eukaryotic algal food up to 8 microns long. The reservoir is anteriorly situated in the right side of the cell and the nucleus in the left side. Common in late cultures.
