Similarly, all genera have some sort of anterior conoid like structure associated with predation or intracellular insertion in the Apicomplexa. |

One step required knowing the location of the centre of gravity of any segment of a parabolic conoid. |
|
In the male, the tail is curved ventrally, conoid and has a pointed terminus. |
|
The conoid of apicomplexans is considered here to be the same character as the feeding apparatus of perkinsids, perhaps suctorian ciliates, and kathablepharids. |
|
The undulating appearance of its roofline is a result of its double conoid design — something that from a distance gives the impression of enormous wings. |
