Species[1]

Commation is a genus of marine heterotrophic protists closely related to the actinophryids. It contains two species, Commation cryoporinum and Commation eposianum, discovered in antarctic waters and described in 1993.[1] Currently, the genus is classified within a monotypic family Commatiidae and order Commatiida.[2] Along with the photosynthetic raphidophytes, these organisms compose the class of stramenopiles known as Raphidomonadea.[4]
