Difflugia
Difflugia urceolata
Scientific classification
Domain:
Eukaryota
Phylum:
Amoebozoa
Class:
Tubulinea
Order:
Arcellinida
Family:
Difflugiidae
Genus:
Difflugia Leclerc, 1815
Difflugia is the largest genus of Arcellinida, one of several groups of Tubulinea within the eukaryote supergroup Amoebozoa.[1] Arcellinida species produce shells or tests from mineral particles or biogenic elements (e.g. diatom frustules) and are thus commonly referred to as testate amoebae or shelled amoebae. Difflugia are particularly common in marshes and other freshwater habitats.
