Molecular and morphological characterisation of four new ancyromonad genera and proposal for an updated taxonomy of the Ancyromonadida

Multiple sequences alignments and phylogenetic trees from the analyses of ancyromonads, including 14 new isolates. Most of them belong to three new and genetically divergent genera: <em>Caraotamonas</em>, <em>Nyramonas</em>, and <em>Olneymonas</em> (with the new species <em>Caraotamonas croatica</em>, <em>Nyramonas glaciarum</em>,<em> Nyramonas silfranensis, </em>and <em>Olneymonas thurstoni </em>spp. nov.). The remaining three new species belong to the already known genera <em>Fabomonas </em>and <em>Ancyromonas </em>(<em>Fabomonas mesopelagica</em>, <em>Ancyromonas mediterranea</em>, and <em>Ancyromonas pacifica</em> spp. nov.).
