Granofilosea is a class of cercozoans in the subphylum

Filosa Cercozoa is a phylum of diverse single-celled eukaryotes. They lack shared morphological characteristics at the microscopic level, and are instead defined by molecular phylogenies of rRNA and actin or polyubiquitin. They were the first major euk ...

ns belong here: the Heliomonadida, Desmothoracida and Gymnosphaerida, which were recently grouped into the new class of Granofilosea.
