The Archamoebae are a group of protists originally thought to have evolved before the acquisition of mitochondria by eukaryotes. They include genera that are internal parasites or commensals of animals ( Entamoeba and Endolimax ).
Aug 1, 2017 · General Characteristics. The Archamoebae is a group of amoebae, amoeboid flagellates, and amoeboflagellates (i.e., organisms with both flagellates and amoebae in their life cycle), with distinctive hyaline cytoplasm and bulging pseudopodia (Fig. 1 ).

Subsequently, they emended the phylum Amoebozoa to include both the subphylum Lobosa and a new subphylum Conosa, comprising the Archamoebae and the Mycetozoa. Recent molecular genetic data appear to support this primary division of the Amoebozoa into Lobosa and Conosa.

May 1, 2013 · The archamoebae is comprised of mostly free-living flagellated pelobionts (mastigamoebids and pelomyxids) and endobiotic aflagellate entamoebae. The best known is Entamoeba histolytica, that causes amoebic dysentery of humans.

Mastigamoeba is a genus of pelobionts, and treated by some as members of the Archamoebae group of protists. Mastigamoeba are characterized as anaerobic, amitochondriate organisms that are polymorphic. Their dominant life cycle stage is as an amoeboid flagellate. Species are typically free living, though endobiotic species have been described.
Archamoebae. In the Conosea the archamoeba are amitochondriate or contain relict mitochondria (Aquilera et al., 2008; From: Myxomycetes (Second Edition), 2022
