Geleia is a genus of karyorelict ciliates in the family Geleiidae.[1][2]

The genus name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the Hungarian protistologist József von Gelei (1885-1952).[3]

Systematics

[edit]

17 species are currently described in the genus Geleia.[2]

Phylogeny

[edit]

Comparison and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA sequences showed that Geleia is the sister group to a clade grouping Parduczia orbis with Corlissina maricaensis.[4]
