Andalucia godoyi
species of jakobid
Andalucia is a genus of jakobids, currently containing the sole species Andalucia godoyi. It has a worldwide distribution.
Classification
The morphology of Andalucia broadly resembles that of other jakobids. Molecular data has not always been conclusive, but recent phylogenomic analyses indicate that Andalucia is a sister group to the other jakobids, or, in other words, more closely related to them than to the Heterolobosea or Euglenozoa (the other two groups in the Discoba). The α-tubulin gene of Andalucia more closely resembles that of opisthokonts and diplomonads than its closer relatives, the apparent result of horizontal gene transfer.
As of 2015, the soil heterotroph Andalucia godoyi is the only described species in the genus. The species Andalucia incarcerata, living in sulfide-rich marine intertidal sediments, was transferred to the genus Stygiella in 2015.
Analysis of DNA sequences from the environment suggests at least two additional species that have not been isolated or formally described.
“Andalucia godoyi” enters the record as species of jakobid. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Andalucia, godoyi and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Andalucia godoyi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Andalucia, godoyi and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136098815. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
