Ochrophyte
The ochrophytes are is a group of mostly photosynthetic stramenopiles (heterokonts), placed either in phylum Ochrophyta or subphylum Ochrophytina.[5][6][7] Their plastid is of red algal origin.[8][7]

The classification of the group is still being worked out. Originally, the ochrophytes were regarded as a phylum denominated Ochrophyta. Some authors (e.g., Cavalier-Smith) divided it into two subphyla, Phaeista Cavalier-Smith 1995 (comprising Hypogyristea and Chrysista in some classifications, or Limnista and Marista in others) and Khakista Cavalier-Smith, 2000 (comprising Bolidophyceae and diatoms).[9] Others prefer not to use the subphyla, listing only lower taxa (e.g., Reviers, 2002, Guiry & Guiry, 2014).
However, it is currently regarded as a subphylum inside of the phylum Gyrista, along with Pseudofungi and Bigyromonada. It contains two infraphyla: Diatomista (containing diatoms and related groups) and Chrysista (containing brown and golden algae and related groups).[7]
Phylogeny
The cladogram below shows the evolutionary relationships between all ochrophyte classes. It is based on the latest phylogenetic analyses:[10][7][11][12]

The probable sister clade to Ochrophyta/Ochrophytina is Actinophryidae,[13] originally classified as heliozoan protists.[14]

Below is the present classification of ochrophytes,[15][7] with the inclusion of three new classes of algae described in 2019,[16] 2020[11] and 2021.[12]

Notes
- Cavalier-Smith suggested that Sulcochrysis is possibly related to Olisthodiscus, and grouped both genera within this subclass.[22][7] However, a study in 2021 reveals that Olisthodiscales is part of a new class Olisthodiscophyceae, which includes only the genus Olisthodiscus. The position of the genus Sulcochrysis remains uncertain due to a lack of DNA sequences.[12]
