Apusomonadidae

Apusomonadidae
	Apusomonas sp.
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
(unranked):	Obazoa
Class:	Thecomonadea
Order:	Apusomonadida; Karpov & Mylnikov, 1989
Genera
	Apusomonas; Amastigomonas; Manchomonas; Thecamonas; Podomonas; Multimonas;

The Apusomonadida are an taxonomic group of protozan zooflagellates, that appear to be the sister group to the Opisthokonts. Together with the Breviatea, these form the Obazoa clade.^[2]^[3]^[4]

It includes the genera Apusomonas, Amastigomonas, Manchomonas, Thecamonas, Podomonas and Multimonas. There is an effort to clarify the relationships between these genera.^[5]
