Euglenozoa
The Euglenozoa are a large group of flagellate protozoa. They include a variety of common free-living species, as well as a few important parasites, some of which infect humans. There are two main subgroups, the euglenids and kinetoplastids. Euglenozoa are unicellular, mostly around 15-40 µm in size, although some euglenids get up to 500 µm long. [more]
At least 1,820 species and subspecies belong to the Phylum Euglenozoa .
More info about the Phylum Euglenozoa may be found here .
Foraminifera
The Foraminifera , ("Hole Bearers") or forams for short, are a large group of amoeboid protists with reticulating pseudopods, fine strands of cytoplasm that branch and merge to form a dynamic net. They typically produce a test, or shell, which can have either one or multiple chambers, some becoming quite elaborate in structure. About 275,000 species are recognized, both living and fossil.[citation needed ] They are usually less than 1 mm in size, but some are much larger, and the largest recorded specimen reached 19 cm.[citation needed ] [more]
At least 4,746 species and subspecies belong to the Phylum Foraminifera .
