Reclinomonas is a monotypic genus of jakobid eukaryotes containing the single species Reclinomonas americana.
This organism is a single cell up to 12 micrometers wide. It has two flagella. The cell is in a cup-like lorica which has a stem that attaches to a surface. When the cell reproduces, by undergoing binary fission, one of the two newly split cells produces a new lorica for itself.
