"Skeletal amoebas": Amoebas that have a cytoskeleton (possibly polyphyletic, will examine other characters later)

  • Carpotesta Pellícere
  • Carpotesta Fúgere (Chloroplasts are likely endosymbiotic viridisaganians)
  • Swamp Beans? Their hunting strategy bears striking resemblance to primitive carpotan bait proteins, and could represent an alternative course of evolution

"Non-skeletal amoebas": Amoebas described a lacking a cytoskeleton

"Squishy sessile consumers":

"Chitinous consumers"

"Sessile Photosynthesizers"

  • Siliconium (beta): Likely outgroup
  • "Soft leaf guys": Unwalled photosynthesizers

  • "Paraphysiophyta": Cellulose-walled photosynthesizers

"Kont-havers": Flagellates

  • "Dikonts": Motile heterotrophs propelled by 2 or more posterior flagellae
