collodictyon 

Collodictyon is a genus of single-celled, omnivorous eukaryotes belonging to the collodictyonids, also known as diphylleids. Due to their mix of cellular components, Collodictyonids do not belong to any well-known kingdom-level grouping of that domain and this makes them distinctive from other families.
Varisulca has been redefined to include planomonads, Mantamonas and Collodictyon.

The type species is " Collodictyon triciliatum ".

A third species " Collodictyon sphaericum " has been described but its description is in doubt.

Originally " Collodictyon triciliatum " was described from the island of Bombay and later in central Europe.

Scientists speculate that further study of " Collodictyon " may yield insights into the prehistoric beginnings of life hundreds of millions of years ago.
