Description The genus ''Kudoa'' is identified by the possession of four or more shell valves composed of a fragile membrane and arranged in a wikt:quadrate, quadrate or Star-shaped, stellate pattern. The maximum number of shell valves in any described ''Kudoa'' species is 13. Each of these valves has a polar capsule. The genus ''Kudoa'' was originally part of the genus ''Chloromyxum'' because of the distribution of their polar capsules, however, it was later determined to be a separate genus.
