Telonema is a genus of single celled organisms comprising one species.

Some sources group Telonema within the cryptomonads-haptophytes assemblage.[1]

It is sometimes assigned to a unique phylum, Telonemia.[2]

Species

The only species recognized by AlgaeBase, as of 2009, is T. subtile.[3]

Other sources describe Telonema subtilis and Telonema antarcticum.[4][5]
