Ancestor:Descendants:

The chemeba genus group has replaced its ancestor along with calciochavus, calciomoeba, lithoamoebos feldsparitroph, lithomecium, lithnumer, lithoranjavia, methamoeba, silicamoeba, sulfamoeba, beach sulfamoeba, symbiomoeba, and tomokanoti. As their name suggests, the chemeba have amorphous forms and break down inorganic materials for energy. However, some species are detrivores and only revert to inorganic materials when their primary food source runs out. Chemeba generally live in the water table beneath land near deep-sea vents in the oceans, where they can easily access their food sources.
