Pompholyxophrys, Rabdiophrys and Pinaciophora[edit]
Nice work on the template, Zorahia. I'd remove Pompholyxophrys, Rabdiophrys and Pinaciophora from Nucleariidae, since these organisms have been found to be Rhizarian filose amoebae (under Perlofilida), not opisthokonts.

Animals[edit]
Animals and fungi are not included in "protists", causing the latter to be paraphyletic. Alfa-ketosav (talk) 06:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Alfa-ketosav: is that a problem? Informal terms like "protists" don't have to refer to monophyletic taxa. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
