Developayellidae (or Developayellaceae in botanical nomenclature) is a family of predatory single-celled eukaryotes. It belongs to the monotypic order Developayellida (or Developayellales) and class Developea, which is part of the stramenopiles. All known members consume bacteria as prey, except for the genus Develorapax, which consumes other eukaryotes.
