Recent surveys of marine microbial diversity have identified a previously unrecognized lineage of diplonemid protists as being among the most diverse heterotrophic eukaryotes in global oceans. Despite their monophyly (and assumed importance), they lack a formal taxonomic description, and are informally known as deep-sea pelagic diplonemids (DSPDs) or marine diplonemids. Recently, we documented morphology and molecular sequences from several DSPDs, one of which is particularly widespread and abundant in environmental sequence data. To simplify the communication of future work on this important group, here we formally propose to erect the family Eupelagonemidae to encompass this clade, as well as a formal genus and species description for the apparently most abundant phylotype, Eupelagonema oceanica, for which morphological information and single-cell amplified genome data are currently available.
最近对海洋微生物多样性的调查表明，以前未被识别的双滴虫类原生动物谱系是全球海洋中最多样的异养真核生物之一。尽管它们具有单系性（和假定的重要性），但它们缺乏正式的分类描述，并且被非正式地称为深海浮游双滴虫（DSPD）或海洋双滴虫。最近，我们记录了几个 DSPD 的形态和分子序列，其中一个在环境序列数据中特别广泛和丰富。为了简化对这个重要群体未来工作的交流，我们在这里正式提议建立 Eupelagonemidae 科来包含这个进化枝，以及为明显最丰富的表型 Eupelagonema oceanica 建立正式的属和种描述，目前可获得该表型的形态信息和单细胞扩增基因组数据。
