Varisulca

Varisulca
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Phylum:	Sulcozoa
Subphylum:	Varisulca Cavalier-Smith 2002
Classes
Hilomonadea Diphyllatea Glissodiscea

Cavalier-Smith has proposed the new subphylum Varisulca which consists of the Classes Hilomonadea, Diphyllatea and Glissodiscea.^[1] The validity of this proposed taxonomy has yet to ruled upon by the Society of Protistologists.

Further work by Cavalier-Smith has shown that Varisulca is paraphyletic.^[2] Again, the validity of this revised taxonomy awaits approval by the Society.
