Amoebozoa

● Evosea

Kang et al. 2017

Representatives of this clade can vary across almost the entire range of morphologies seen in Amoebozoa. Many members have complex life cycles that include amoeboid, ciliated and fruiting stages. Some species appear to be exclusively ciliated with no amoeboid features. Most taxa with only a subset of these life cycle stages.

●● Variosea

●● Cutosea

Cavalier-Smith et al. 2016

Amoebae bounded by a continuous thin, somewhat flexible, envelope separated from the plasma membrane and having oval scale-like substructure within a denser matrix; small pores penetrate the envelope, allowing subpseudopodia to protrude for very slow, occasional locomotion; locomotive cells flattened, oval, rounded or irregularly triangular.

●● Archamoebea

Cavalier-Smith 1983 sensu Cavalier-Smith et al. 2004

Amoebae or ciliated amoebae, anaerobic or microaerophilic, free-living or endobionts of different invertebrate or vertebrate hosts; ciliated amoebae usually with hyaline lateral pseudopodia; unikont, with single kinetosome at the base of cilia, connected to the microtubular cone, in some cases both the kinetosome and the axoneme have atypical complements of microtubules; without typical mitochondria, in several cases mitochondrial derivates, i.e. mitosomes, have been demonstrated.
