- Domain: Eukaryota

- Kingdom: Protozoa
(Goldfuss, 1818) R. Owen, 1858
- Subkingdom: Sarcomastigota
- Kingdom: Protozoa
(Goldfuss, 1818) R. Owen, 1858
The Subkingdom Sarcomastigota is further organized into finer groupings including:
Phyla
Amoebozoa
The Amoebozoa are a major group of protozoa, including the majority that move by means of internal cytoplasmic flow. Their pseudopodia are characteristically blunt and finger-like, called lobopodia. Most are unicellular, and are common in soils and aquatic habitats, with some found as symbiotes of other organisms, including several pathogens. The Amoebozoa also include the slime moulds, multinucleate or multicellular forms that produce spores and are usually visible to the unaided eye. [more]
Choanozoa

At least 104 species and subspecies belong to the Phylum Choanozoa.
