Ellobiopsis is a genus of alveolae parasitic protozoa.
This genus was created in 1910 by Caullery. Species in this genus infect crustaceans.[1]
The type species is Ellobiopsis chattoni.
Taxonomy
This genus has been difficult to classify, being placed in several different taxa in the past (e.g., Chytridiomycota, Dinoflagellata)[2] but it is now known to be an alveolate. Its closest relations appear to be the genus Thalassomyces.[3] These genera have been grouped together to form the family Ellobiopsidae.
