Physarales is an order of Amoebozoa in the class Myxomycetes. It contains three families, the Didymiaceae, the Lamprodermataceae, and the Physaraceae.[1] Physarales was circumscribed by Thomas Huston Macbride and published in 1922.[2]
Undescribed Family
[edit]There is evidence of an undescribed family within Physarales that bridges Didymiaceae and Lamprodermataceae, which contains the monotypic genus Tasmaniomyxa.[3]
