Calkinsia is a monotypic genus of excavates comprising the single species Calkinsia aureus. [2] It lives in low-oxygen seafloor environments. [1] [3] It is not classified in any of the three well-known groups of the Euglenozoa ( Kinetoplastida, Euglenida or Diplonemida), but is placed in its own group, the Symbiontida (along with some DNA sequences which were found in marine environments but not identified with known organisms). [1] [4] [5] Some authors have classified Calkinsia alongside Postgaardi, but Postgaardi has not been studied well enough to test this hypothesis. [1]
The genus name of Calkinsia is in honour of Gary Nathan Calkins (1869 – 1943), who was an American protozoologist and a professor at Columbia University. He wrote several landmark textbooks on the biology of the protozoa. [6]
