The chloroplasts in this organism are bound by three membranes instead of the usual two, leading researchers to believe they were derived from ingested algae.

Anatomically, these organisms have a complex cell covering called an amphiesma composed of flattened vesicles called alveoli, and a type of armor known as the theca. However, these organisms are best recognized by their namesake structures, a longitudinal and a transverse one, which are set into grooves called the sulcus and the cingulum. FTP, identify these protists that contain two whip-like tails for motility.
