Phagomyxids are a group of obligate endoparasitic protists belonging to the subphylum Endomyxa in Cercozoa.¹ Taxonomically, they are united under a single family Phagomyxidae, order Phagomyxida, sister to the plasmodiophores.²

Ecology

Phagomyxids are mainly parasites of brown algae,³ but some can parasite oomycetes.⁴

Taxonomy

The group was created in 1993 by Cavalier-Smith, when it contained only the genus Phagomyxa.² Since then, Maullinia, a genus previously in Plasmodiophoridae, has joined the phagomyxids.⁴
