Palaeos Eukarya: Rhizaria |
 | | Phytomyxea at least has the virtue of being a much shorter name. |
| | As generally circumscribed, Cercozoa also includes Gromiidae and Phytomyxea, but these more divergent taxa have been listed separately here to show their relative phylogenetic positions (and also to avoid having to lump Foraminifera in with the Cercozoa). |
| | For a brief period before 1998, the clade soon to be called Cercozoa was referred to as Rhizopoda, as it included a large proportion of the species previously included in that form-taxon (specifically those bearing filose pseudopodia). |
