Subgroups

Podiates (Cavalier-Smith, 2012, excl. Ancyromonadida)¹ are a proposed clade containing the Amorphea (incl. Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa, apusomonads and breviates) and the organisms now assigned to the clade CRuMs.² Ancyromonadida does not appear to have emerged in this grouping.³⁴ Podiates possess pseudopodia (ancestrally filose and used for benthic feeding¹), while the closely related ancyromonads and malawimonads do not.⁵
