== English == === Etymology === From translingual Cavosteliidae (family name). === Noun === cavosteliid (plural cavosteliids) Any slime mold of the family Cavosteliidae. 2017, Dmitry V. Leontyev, Martin Schnittler, Chapter 3: The Phylogeny of Myxomycetes, Carlos Rojas, Steven L. Stephenson, Myxomycetes: Biology, Systematics, Biogeography and Ecology, Elsevier (Academic Press), page 95, ==== Usage notes ==== The (translingual) family name differs depending on whether one wishes to treat its members as animals (in which case the -idae suffix is used) or something else (when -aceae is used). Thus, and in reflection of the difficulty classifying the family, it is sometimes called Cavosteliaceae. === See also === eukaryote protist protostelid === Further reading === Protosteliales on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Cavosteliidae on Wikispecies.Wikispecies Category:Cavosteliaceae on Wikimedia Commons.Wikimedia Commons Slime mold on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Protista taxonomy on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
