The family Vampyrellidae is a subgroup of the order
Aconchulinida) within the supergroup Rhizaria.[1][2] Based on molecular sequence data, the family currently comprises the genus Vampyrella, and maybe several other vampyrellid amoebae (e.g. Gobiella).[2] The cells are naked and characterised by radiating, filose pseudopodia (also referred to as filopodia) and an orange colouration of the main cell body.[3][4]
In former times the family Vampyrellidae contained several genera (e.g. Theratromyxa.[2]
Characteristics
_(14596233838).jpg)
When free-floating, the cell is spherical and around 30 μm across, with long radially directed filose pseudopods as well as distinctive shorter club-shaped ones, so that it resembles a
fungi. As such, these vampyrellids can be an important control of parasitic rust fungus of wheat
and other crops.
Vampyrellids characteristically have
nucleariids they include the majority of the naked filose amoebae.[citation needed

Phylogenetic tree
The following cladogram depicts the relationships between Vampyrellidae and other vampyrellid families. Of the 19 species, only 2 species of Vampyrella have been genetically sequenced, which limits the information on the internal relationships of the genus.[7]
