Miracula Moenusica
''Miracula'' is a genus of parasitic protists that parasite diatoms, containing the type species ''Miracula helgolandica''. More recently, the species ''Miracula moenusica'' from the river Main (river), Main in Frankfurt am Main, ''Miracula islandica'' from a shore in the north of Iceland, ''Miracula einbuarlaekurica'' from a streamlet in the north of Iceland, and ''Miracula blauvikensis'' from the shore at the research station Blávík in the east fjords of Iceland were added to the genus. It is the only genus in the family (biology), family Miraculaceae, of uncertain taxonomic position within the Oomycetes. They're one of the most basal lineages in the phylogeny of Oomycetes.

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
