Diagnosis:
Type species: Sokolovia neumaniae Elenkin 1926
Descriptions:
Komárek (1992): Filamentous, heteropolar; filaments uniserial, not branched, solitary or in groups, attached to the substrate (= legs of Hydracarines) by a small, cup-shaped sheath, narrowed on the basis into a short leg (pad); trichomes with slightly widened, rounded basis, without a heterocyte, enveloped by the short sheath, cylindrical, slightly and gradually narrowed to the ends, constricted at the cross-walls. Cells shorter than wide, to the ends up to isodiametrical or slightly longer than wide, end cells narrowed, more or less conical and rounded, never elongated into hairs.
Genotype differences, molecular data:
Reproduction strategies, life cycles, cell division:
Komárek (1992): Cell divison crosswise to the lenth of trichomes. Reproduction probably by disintegration of trichomes up to solitary cells.
Ultrastructure:
Taxonomic position, higher hierarchy:
Cyanophyceae, Oscillatoriales, Pseudanabaenaceae, Heteroleibleinioideae
Notes to taxonomy, misinterpretations:
Ecology, ecophysiology, ecological significance:
Komárek (1992): The single (type) species grows epizootically on legs of a Hydracarine Neumania triangularis. Described from the central Asia, from the central Asia, from the vicinity of Buchara, and not revised.
According to Geitler (1942), it is possibly a Trichobacterium.
