Microheliella

Microheliella is a monotypic genus of protists containing the sole species M. maris, first described in 2012. It has a variety of unusual morphological characteristics which make its broader classification difficult. These include a centrosome with two concentric granular shells and axopodia much simpler in structure than in visually similar protists (other 'heliozoa').[1]

Recent phylogenomic analyses suggest the microhelida are sister to the Cryptista, forming a clade called Pancryptista, which would be sister to the Archaeplastida.[2][3]
