Neometanema is a genus of phagotrophic flagellates belonging to the Euglenida, a diverse group of flagellates in the phylum Euglenozoa.[1] It is the sole genus within the monotypic family Neometanemidae and suborder Metanemina.[2] It composes the order Natomonadida together with a closely related clade of osmotrophs known as Aphagea.[3]
