Taxonomy of Cercozoa

Cercozoa (=Rhizopoda) is a phylum of protists.[1] It was first described in 1998 by Thomas Cavalier-Smith. The phylum Cercozoa belongs to a group called Rhizaria. No specific morphological or behavioral characteristics are observed in its members. This phylum exhibits great diversity. Its members are biciliate and/or amoeboid and generally possess filopodia. Most contain tubular cristae, and cysts are common. Kinetosomes are attached to the nucleus via the cytoskeleton. Microbodies and extrusomes are generally present.[2] This list shows the revisions made to Cavalier-Smith's Cercozoa classification and also shows Adl et al. classifications.

Taxonomy

Before the phylum was described, a similar group was named as phylum Rhizopoda instead. In 1997, Rhizopoda was assigned to a superphylum named Neosarcodina that also included another phylum, the Amoebozoa. Here is a scheme from Cavalier-Smith, 1997:[3]

In Cavalier-Smith, 1998, the phylum was proposed as a replacement for Rhizopoda. It was placed in infrakingdom Sarcomastigota along with the phyla Neomonada, Foraminifera and Amoebozoa. Order Spongomonadida was added to subphylum Monadofilosa and cristidiscoids were transferred to subphylum Choanozoa. The classification was this:[1]

In Cavalier-Smith, 2000, a new monotypic class Spongomonadea was named for the order Spongomonadida. Spongomonadea was placed in subphylum Reticulofilosa. Order Cryomonadida was added to class Sarcomonadea. Class Athalamea was used for the families Biomyxidae and Gymnophryidae in subphylum Reticulofilosa. Class Ramicristea was used in subphylum Monadofilosa and included the orders Heliomonadida and Commatiida:[4][5][6][7]

In Cavalier-Smith, 2002, a new subphylum named Endomyxa was introduced to contain the new class Ascetosporea and the class Phytomyxea in the phylum Cercozoa. Ascetosporea contained the orders Haplosporida and Paramyxida. Subclass Testaceafilosia was ranked as a class Testaceafilosea. Phylum Cercozoa was placed in a new infrakingdom named Rhizaria along with the phyla Apusozoa, Retaria and Heliozoa:[8]

In Cavalier-Smith and Chao, 2003, the subphyla Reticulofilosa and Monadofilosa were ranked as superclasses in a new subphylum Filosa. Order Heliomonadida was transferred to class Proteomyxidea, a new order Reticulosida was created to include the only family Gymnophryidae, now also containing family Biomyxidae members. A new order Metopiida was assigned to class Sarcomonadea. A new class named Thecofilosea was created to contain the order Cryomonadida and the new order Tectofilosida. A new class named Imbricatea was created to contain the orders Thaumatomonadida and Euglyphida. A new order Claustrosporida was assigned to class Ascetosporea. A new class named Gromiidea contained the only order Gromiida. Order Commatiida was not listed, and order Vampyrellida was assigned kingdom Protozoa incertae sedis.[7]

In Bass and Cavalier-Smith, 2004, a new order Metromonadida was placed as superclass Monadofilosa incertae sedis. Order Metopiida was removed from class Sarcomonadea and placed subphylum Filosa incertae sedis instead. Class Spongomonadea was transferred to superclass Monadofilosa:[9]

In Bass et al., 2005, genus Sainouron was classified as superclass Monadofilosa incertae sedis, genera Helkesimastix and Cercobodo were also classified as subphylum Filosa incertae sedis:[10]

In 2005, Adl et al. proposed a rankless hierarchy:[2]

In Cavalier-Smith 2007, the order Metromonadida was assigned to its own class Metromonadea directly under subphylum Filosa and class Phaeodarea and order Metopiida was added to superclass Monadofilosa:[11]

In Cavalier-Smith et al., 2008, the orders Pansomonadida and Metopiida and family Sainouridae was added to class Sarcomonadea and order Desmothoracida was added to class Proteomyxidea:[12]

In Bass et al., 2009, a new class named Granofilosea was added to subphylum Filosa and contained five orders: Leucodictyida, Limnofilida, Cryptofilida, Desmothoracida and Heliomonadida. A new order Paradinida was added to class Ascetosporea. Order Aconchulinida was added to class Proteomyxidea, a new family named Rhizoplasmidae was also added to the class as incertae sedis. Class Proteomyxidea was transferred to subphylum Endomyxa:[6]

In Howe et al., 2009, a new order Glissomonadida was also assigned to class Sarcomonadea and genus Pseudopirsonia was added as superclass Monadofilosa incertae sedis:[13]

In Cavalier-Smith et al., 2009 a new superfamily Sainouroidea was named to include the family Sainouridae and the new monotypic family Helkesimastigidae including the genus Helkesimastix. Superfamily Sainouroidea was placed in class Sarcomonadea:[14]

In Howe et al., 2011, order Spongomonadida, a new order Marimonadida that also included the genus Pseudopirsonia and a new incertae sedis family Nudifilidae was added to class Imbricatea. Genera Clautriavia and Discomonas were also added as Imbricatea incertae sedis. Phaeodarea was ranked as a subclass Phaeodaria and added to class Thecofilosea. Order Ebriida and a new order Ventricleftida was also added in class Thecofilosea. Order Metopiida was transferred to class Metromonadea. Class Metromonadea was assigned to superclass Monadofilosa. A new order Tremulida was assigned to subphylum Filosa, Cercobodo became obsolete:[15]

In Cavalier-Smith and Karpov, 2012, superclass Monadofilosa was ranked as infraphylum. A new superclass called Ventrifilosa was used for the classes Thecofilosea and Imbricatea. A new class Skiomonadea was named for the only order Tremulida:[16]

In Yabuki et al., 2012, order Heliomonadida was transferred to class Endohelea and a new order called Axomonadida was added to class Granofilosea:[17]

In Cavalier-Smith and Oates, 2012, a new superclass Eoglissa was named to contain the classes Metromonadea and Sarcomonadea in the infraphylum Monadofilosa. Family Katabiidae was assigned class Sarcomonadea incertae sedis:[18]

In Cavalier-Smith and Chao, 2012, four new subclasses, three new superorders and four new orders were named. New subclass Placoperla was assigned to class Imbricatea and contained the new superorders Perlatia and Placofila. Superorder Perlatia included the order Spongomonadida and the new order Perlofilida. Superorder Placofila contained the orders Rotosphaerida and Thaumatomonadida. New subclass Placonuda was also assigned to class Imbricatea contained the order Euglyphida and the new superorder Nudisarca which included the order Marimonadida and the incertae sedis family Nudifilidae. New subclass Eothecia was assigned to class Thecofilosea and contained the orders Ventricleftida, Ebriida, Cryomonadida, Hemimastigida and new order Matazida.

New orders Eodarida and Opaloconchida were assigned to infraclass Phaeodaria:[19]

In Adl et al., 2012:[20]

In Cavalier-Smith, 2013, order Rotosphaerida was treated as class Cristidiscoidea instead and was placed in its own new subphylum Paramycia in phylum Choanozoa:[21]

In Cavalier-Smith and Scoble, 2013, the incertae sedis genus Clautriavia was assigned to its own incertae sedis family Clautriaviidae:[22]
