The axodines (Actinochrysophyceae, Actinochrysea or Dictyochophyceae sensu lato) are a group of unicellular heterokont algae, previously classified in the Chrysophyceae.
They include pedinellids, silicoflagellates, and Rhizochromulinales.
They characteristically have a single emergent flagellum, which lacks the root structure found in related groups, and is extended into a wing-like form supported by an internal rod. They also have tentacles or axopods supported by triads of microtubules, arising from the surface of the nucleus.
