Pinaciophora is an amoeboid genus of uncertain affinity, previously classified as Rhizaria or the now-discredited Heliozoa. [1] It has also been placed in Nucleariida, [2] which remains a possibility based on morphology. There is no molecular data available for a definite placement as of 2019. [3]

It includes the species Pinaciophora fluviatilis. [4]
