Description of Pelobiontida: Circumscription: Four genera with about 200 nominal species, mostly uniflagellated, without mitochondria or dictyosomes; ultrastructure suggests primitive status but ribosomal RNA sequences places pelobionts away from the base of the tree, one other molecule and structural evidence suggest a more basal location. Phreatamoeba has been synonymized with Mastigamoeba. Ultrastructural identity: Without mitochondria, dictyosomes, or fibrous cytoskeletal structures. Basal bodies are not paired and are supported by a cone of microtubules and, excepting taxa with non-motile flagella, with a single radiating ribbon of microtubules. Flagella without paraxial structures. No extrusomes and no ingestion device. Some taxa with non-9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules in axonemes and without nine X triplet organization of microtubules in basal bodies. Synapomorphy: amitochondriate protists with unpaired basal bodies anchored with cone and ribbon of microtubules.
