Taxonomy
There are two families in this taxon.
History
This superfamily was established by Clopton in 2009.[1]
Description
Species in this taxon infect insects.
Syzygy is frontal or frontolateral.
The gametocysts form an epicyst (ectocyst).
The epicyst may rupture or dissolve.
The sporocysts are released either singly or in chains.
gollark: Also, VVC is maybe better but nothing supports it yet.
gollark: AV1 is not AVI, see.
gollark: What? No, that's AV1.
gollark: What? Why are you using "AVI"?
gollark: Preëmpted you.
