Geminigeraceae is afamily ofcryptophytes containing the five generaGeminigera,Guillardia,Hanusia,Proteomonas andTeleaulax.[1] They are characterised bychloroplasts containingCr-phycoerythrin 545, and an innerperiplast component (IPC) comprising "a sheet or a sheet and multiple plates if diplomorphic". Thenucleomorphs are never in thepyrenoid, and there is never a scalariform furrow. The cells do, however, have a long, keeledrhizostyle with lamellae (wings).[1]
