Monadofilosa

Monadofilosa is a grouping of Cercozoa. (It is sometimes considered one of three, the other two being Endomyxa and Reticulofilosa.) These organisms are single-celled amoeboid protists.

Monadofilosa is sometimes treated as a superclass rather than a subphylum.[citation needed] Monadofilosa includes the testate amoebae known as "testaceans", and the cercomonads. It is sometimes described as Testaceafilosia and Sarcomonadea. It has also been described as Sarcomonadea (Cercomonas, Heteromita, Bodomorpha, Proleptomonas, Allantion), Thecofilosea (Cryptodifflugia, Cryothecomonas), Spongomonadea (Spongomonas, Rhipidodendron), and Imbricatea (Thaumatomonas, Thaumatomastix, Allas, Gyromitus, Euglypha, Trinema, Paulinella).

Sainouron has been grouped in Monadofilosa.
