Remanella is a genus of karyorelict ciliates, belonging to family Loxodidae.[1][2] Whereas Remanella inhabits brackish and marine waters, Loxodes – the other loxodid genus – is a freshwater taxon.[3]
Etymology
The genus name is a patronym honoring the German zoologist Adolf Remane (1898–1976), who contributed to the discovery of the marine interstitial fauna.[1]
Phylogeny
Molecular phylogeny based on sequences of the SSU rRNA gene suggests that the genus Remanella might be paraphyletic with respect to a monophyletic genus Loxodes but this result is not strongly supported.[4]
