Amoebozoa families

The Amoebidae are a family of Amoebozoa, including naked amoebae that produce multiple pseudopodia of indeterminate length. These are roughly cylindrical with granular endoplasm and no subpseudopodia, as found in other members of the class Tubulinea. During locomotion one pseudopod typically becomes dominant and the others are retracted as the body flows into it. In some cases the cell moves by "walking", with relatively permanent pseudopodia serving as limbs.

Acanthamoebidae is a family of single-celled eukaryotes within the group Amoebozoa.

The Hartmannellidae are a family of amoebozoa, usually found in soils. When active they tend to be roughly cylindrical in shape, with a single leading pseudopod and no subpseudopodia. This form somewhat resembles a slug and as such they are also called limax amoebae. Trees based on rRNA show the Hartmannellidae as usually defined are paraphyletic to the Amoebidae, which may adopt similar forms.

Entamoebidae is a family of Archamoebae.

The Vannellidae are a family of Amoebozoa, which are found in soil, fresh- and salt water. The most common genus is Vannella.

Thecamoebidae is an Amoebozoa family.

Paramoebidae is a family of Amoebozoa, classified under Dactylopodida. It has also been classified under gymnamoebae. It includes the genera Korotnevella, Hollandella, and Paramoeba.
