Cochliopodium is a Himatismenida genus. [1]

It has been found in eyewash stations. [2]

It includes:

Recombination and meiosis

The Cochliopodium genome includes genes whose functions are employed in the process of genetic recombination suggesting the possibility of a sexual stage. [7] The genome sequence of Cochliopodium minus contains a complete set of genes necessary for meiosis a key stage of sexual reproduction. [8]
