Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Clade: CRuMs
Class: Hilomonadea
Order: Rigifilida
Family: Micronucleariidae
Cavalier-Smith 2008[1]
Genus: Micronuclearia

Species
  • M. podoventralis

Micronuclearia is a genus of free-living protozoa containing the single species Micronuclearia podoventralis. While originally thought to be a nucleariid, as reflected in the name,[2] it is now inferred to be a member of the taxon Rigifilida, and to belong to the 'CRuMs' assemblage (whereas nucleariids are opisthokonts).
