Rollomonadia is a group of single-celled flagellates. It contains a small group of heterotrophic flagellates known as katablepharids, as well as the abundant cryptomonads (=cryptophytes), which comprise the heterotrophic Goniomonadea and the photosynthetic Cryptophyceae. [2] [1] Together with Palpitomonas and the Endohelea heliozoans, they compose the phylum Cryptista. [3] [4]
