Orders

Euglyphia is a group of imbricate protists in the phylum Cercozoa. They are unicellular eukaryotes characterized by a cell body covered in large imbricate scales, and an apical aperture through which they extend either filose pseudopodia or two cilia of different sizes that are not used for gliding.[1]

Classification

Euglyphia is composed of 3 orders and 8 families, with a total of 16 different genera.[1][2]
