A developmental stage in trypanosomes. The undulating membrane is shortened and the flagellar pocket and the kinetoplast are anterior to the nucleus; in the previous stage they are near the tail and behind the nucleus. This stage occurs in the insect host.
This morphological form is found in Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi. It is the main experimental stage in T. cruzi.
