The species of the genus Dichomorphamelos split from its ancestor, the luminus, being all them variants of its amorphous members, the phamtophotus. The species of this genus are found mostly in fresh water bodies, mostly rivers and swamps, where they crawl aided by pseudopods and long flagella in the river bed or soaked soil when searching for the light source, absorbing minor quantities of lime found dissolved in the water. One of the main features in the species of Dichomorphamelos, the presence of pseudopods associated to flagella, evolved in different ways. Hexmalaphoelia is a flat and wide micro algae, found mostly on rivers and lakes adhered to rocks or flora, using pseudopods to craw; flagella develop randomly around its body in order to help grabbing nutrients, dragging them closer to it to later being absorbed. Terfavoylla developed a thicker cell wall, being always found floating in rivers or swamps, swimming aided by its flagella e trading nutrients through projections and vesicles which constantly develop on its outer surface. The same way as phamtophotus, species within this genus can combine lime with carbon dioxide, forming calcite, which precipitates in the river bed and water puddles.
