Cabozoa

In the classification of eukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus), Cabozoa was a taxon proposed by Cavalier-Smith.[1]

Giardia lamblia
Scientific classification
Domain: Eukaryota
(unranked): Bikonta
Clade: Cabozoa
Supergroups
Algae tree. Note that not all terms listed in this diagram reflect a modern consensus.

It was a putative clade comprising the Rhizaria and Excavata. More recent research tends to place the Rhizaria with the Alveolata and heterokonts instead of the Excavata, however.[2]
