Endohelea is a proposed class of eukaryotes that are related to Archaeplastida and the SAR supergroup. [2] They used to be considered heliozoans, but phylogenetically they belong to a group of microorganisms known as Cryptista. [1]

Classification

Based on studies done by Cavalier-Smith, Chao & Lewis in 2015, the class contained two orders: Microhelida and Heliomonadida. [3] [4] However, according to a study by Cavalier-Smith, published in 2022, the order Heliomonadida is actually part of Cercozoa, and only one species of heliomonad, Tetrahelia pterbica , has been kept in Endohelea as its own order Axomonadida. [1]

According to a study by Yazaki et al. published in 2022, Microheliella is Cryptista's sister taxon. [5]
