Diaphoretickes

Diaphoretickes () is a major evolutionary lineage, or clade, of eukaryotic organisms spanning over 600,000 species. They comprise an enormous diversity of life forms, from single-celled protozoa to multicellular plants and numerous types of algae. The clade was discovered through phylogenetic analyses in the 21st century that revealed a close relationship between the supergroups Archaeplastida (or plants in a broad sense), Haptista, Cryptista, and SAR (Stramenopiles, Alveolata and Rhizaria).

Corticata ("one with a cortex"), in the classification of eukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus), is a superkingdom suggested by Thomas Cavalier-Smith to encompass the following two eukaryote supergroups: Plantae, or Archaeplastida (land plants, red algae, green algae, and glaucophytes) Chromalveolata (a polyphyletic group including kelp, water moulds, ciliates, dinoflagellates, and other organisms)

Ancoracysta is a genus of eukaryotic microbes containing the species Ancoracysta twista, a predatory protist.
