Halvaria is a taxonomic grouping of protists that includes Alveolata and Stramenopiles (Heterokonta). Cavalier-Smith first proposed this group as "halvaria" instead of "Halvaria". [2]

Analyses in 2007 and 2008 revealed that the Stramenopiles and the Alveolata are related, and form a reduced clade of what were seen to be a paraphyletic group, the chromalveolates. The two clades together with the Rhizaria (originally one of the six major eukaryote groups) form a clade dubbed the SAR supergroup. [3] [4] [5]

A phylogenomic analysis from 2016 cast doubt on Halvaria, suggesting that Alveolata is the sister group to Rhizaria (making the R + A clade) through new rhizarian sequence data, and that support for Halvaria might be an artifact of low taxon sampling as well as long branch attraction. [6]

However, later analyses from 2021 support Halvaria as a solid clade. [7]
