About
Calkinsia is a monotypic genus of excavates comprising the single species Calkinsia aurea. It lives in low-oxygen seafloor environments. It is not classified in any of the three well-known groups of the Euglenozoa, but is placed in its own group, the Symbiontida. Some authors have classified Calkinsia alongside Postgaardi, but Postgaardi has not been studied well enough to test this hypothesis.
