Genera

The paracercomonads are a group of cercozoan protists. [2] Taxonomically, they comprise the family Paracercomonadidae, order Paracercomonadida and subclass Paracercomonada. Due to their morphological similarities to the cercomonads, members of this family were grouped with Cercomonas and similar taxa from the beginning. However, their similarities are due to convergent evolution. [1]

Classification

There are currently 5 genera of paracercomonads: [1]
