Lecudinidae
''Lecudinidae'' is a family of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexia. Taxonomy There are about 35 genera in this family. History The family was created by Kamm in 1922. It was raised to superfamily status by Levine in 1971. Description The gamont has a truncated anterior mucron. The spherical to ovoid nucleus is located in anterior third of the body. It has a central nucleolus The nucleolus (, plural: nucleoli ) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis, which is the synthesis of ribosomes. The nucleolus also participates in the formation of .... Syzygy is lateral and often involves multiple associations. These organisms move by gliding. References Apicomplexa families {{Apicomplexa-stub ...

Aseptatorina
''Aseptatorina'' is a suborder of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexia Taxonomy There are eleven families recognised in this suborder. There are ~400 species in these families. Five families — ''Allantocystidae'', ''Diplocystidae'', ''Enterocystidae'', ''Ganymedidae'' and ''Schaudinnellidae'' — have only one genus. ''Aikinetocystidae'' has two genera. Two families in this suborder — ''Ganymedidae'' and ''Thiriotiidae'' — infect crustacean Crustaceans (Crustacea, ) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such animals as decapods, seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, amphipods and mantis shrimp. The crustacean group can ...s. The taxonomy of this suborder may be in need of revision as it has been shown based on SSU 18S rDNA sequences that four families — ''Ganymedidae'' from the Aseptatorina and ''Cephalolobidae'', ''Porosporidae'' and ''Uradiophoridae'' from the Septatorina appear to form ...

Eukaryota
Eukaryotes () are organisms whose Cell (biology), cells have a cell nucleus, nucleus. All animals, plants, fungi, and many unicellular organisms, are Eukaryotes. They belong to the group of organisms Eukaryota or Eukarya, which is one of the Three-domain system, three domains of life. Bacteria and Archaea (both prokaryotes) make up the other two domains. The eukaryotes are usually now regarded as having emerged in the Archaea or as a sister of the Asgard (archaea), Asgard archaea. This implies that there are only Two-domain system, two domains of life, Bacteria and Archaea, with eukaryotes incorporated among archaea. Eukaryotes represent a small minority of the number of organisms, but, due to their generally much larger size, their collective global biomass (ecology), biomass is estimated to be about equal to that of prokaryotes. Eukaryotes emerged approximately 2.3–1.8 billion years ago, during the Proterozoic eon, likely as Flagellated cell, flagellated phagotrophs. The ...

Koellikeria (protozoa)
''Gloxinia'' is a genus containing three species of tropical rhizomatous herbs in the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae. The species are primarily found in the Andes of South America, but ''Gloxinia perennis'' is also found in Central America and the West Indies, where it has probably escaped from cultivation. ''Gloxinia perennis'' is the original (type) species of the genus, and for much of its history the genus consisted of only ''G. perennis'' and a very small number of other species. The classification of ''Gloxinia'' later changed reflect the 1976 classification of Hans Wiehler, who took a broader view of the genus. A recent analysis of ''Gloxinia'' and related genera based on molecular and morphological work has determined that Wiehler's circumscription of the genus was unnatural, both phylogenetically and morphologically. The analyses demonstrated that the genera ''Anodiscus'' and ''Koellikeria'', each with a single species, were more closely related to ''Gloxinia peren ...

Ferraria (protozoan)
''Ferraria'' is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to tropical and southern Africa. They are herbaceous corm-bearing plants growing to 30–45 cm tall. Some species have an unpleasant scent similar to rotting meat and are pollinated by flies, while others have a pleasant scent. The genus name is a tribute to Italian Jesuit Botanist and botanical artist Giovanni Baptista Ferrari. They are grown as ornamental plant Ornamental plants or garden plants are plants that are primarily grown for their beauty but also for qualities such as scent or how they shape physical space. Many flowering plants and garden varieties tend to be specially bred cultivars that i ...s in gardens in subtropical regions. ; Species * '' Ferraria brevifolia'' G.J.Lewis - Cape Province of South Africa * '' Ferraria candelabrum'' (Baker) Rendle - Angola, Zambia * '' Ferraria crispa'' Burm.
