Wallaceina is a genus of parasitic flagellate protist belonging to the family

honoring the protistologist Franklin G. Wallace, a pioneer in the modern taxonomy of trypanosomatids.
Wallaceina is a
dipteran insects have been traditionally placed in genera Blastocrithidia, Crithidia, Leptomonas, Herpetomonas, and Rhynchoidomonas.[3][4] Wallaceina is characterized by endomastigote
morphological forms, whereas
epimastigotes and opisthomastigotes are features of the genera Blastocrithidia and Herpetomonas, respectively.[4]

polyphyletic. It is therefore suggested to reassign Wallaceina species either to Crithidia brevicula (for Wallaceina brevicula, W. inconstans, W. vicina, and W. podlipaevi) or to the newly proposed genus Wallacemonas (for Wallaceina collosoma, W. rigida, and W. raviniae).[5]
