Halvaria

Halvaria is a taxonomic grouping of protists that includes Alveolata and Stramenopiles (Heterokonta).

Analyses in 2007 and 2008 revealed that the Stramenopiles and the Alveolata are related, and form a reduced clade of what were seen to be a paraphyletic group, the chromalveolates. The two clades together with the Rhizaria (originally one of the six major eukaryote groups) form a clade dubbed the SAR supergroup.
