lobosa

An order of the class Rhizopoda, characterized by their shapelessness and the constant protrusion of lobose processes called pseudopodia; the normal amœboids or lobose protozoans: contrasted with Filosa. The order distinguishes the amœbiform protozoans from the Radiolaria, Heliozoa, Foraminifera, etc.
