Spironemidae is a family of heterotrophic flagellates. They vary in size and shape from the ellipsoid Hemimastix amphikineta (14 × 7 μm) to the vermiform Spironema terricola (43 × 3 μm), and are united by the possession of two rows of cilia, called kineties.[1] The following species are included:[1]
- Spironema multiciliatum Klebs, 1893
- Spironema terricola Foissner & Foissner, 1993
- Spironema goodeyi Foissner & Foissner, 1993
- Stereonema geiseri Foissner & Foissner, 1993
