Snyderella (snide-err-ell-a), a multinucleate trichomonad flagellates, flagella associated with nuclei to form karyomastigonts, of which there are many. Each karyomastigonts has four anteriorly directed flagella, no recurrent flagellum or cresta. As can be seen in this detail, the flagella are associated with small nuclei which lie close to the cell surface. They give rise to axostyles which meet together forming a central bundle, which reaches the posterior end. From Cryptotermes. Phase contrast.

Also with numerous elongate bacteria associated with the cell surface. From Cryptotermes. Phase contrast.

Snyderella (snide-err-ell-a), hypermastigid flagellate from the guts of termites. Numerous flagella arise from the anterior part of the cell, each is linked to a nucleus, and each gives rise to a descending cytoskeletal root - many of which join together to pass towards the back of the cell. Differential interference contrast.
