Myzozoa
Myzozoa is a grouping of specific phyla within Alveolata, that either feed through myzocytosis, or were ancestrally capable of feeding through myzocytosis.
Dinozoa
Dinozoa is a group of microorganisms composed of dinoflagellates and perkinsids. It was initially coined in 1981 as a synonym of dinoflagellates, but in 2004 the name was repurposed for the evolutionary lineage or clade of dinoflagellates and their closest relatives, the perkinsids.
Colponemida
Colponemids are free-living alveolates, unicellular flagellates related to dinoflagellates, apicomplexans and ciliates. They are predators of other small eukaryotes, found in freshwater, marine and soil environments. They do not form a solid clade, but a sparse group of deep-branching alveolate lineages.
