The Liceidae are as slime molds one of the three families in the order of liceida . It comprises two genera, of which one - Kelleromyxa - contains only one species, whereas the genus Licea contains over 30 species. Types of the family are common worldwide.

Features and ecology

The fruiting bodies are always very small (less than 1 millimeter in diameter), mostly sporangia , occasionally somewhat larger, simple to branched plasmodiocarp . A pseudocapillitium or dictydine granule is always missing, a real capillitium usually also, only in the genus Kelleromyxa there is a capillitium formed from threads.

Systematics

The Liceidae were first described as a tribe by Józef Tomasz Rostafiński in 1873 . Until Licea fimicola was moved into an independent genus Kelleromyxa in 1991, it was considered monogeneric .
