Microheliella maris
Microheliella maris is a protist species 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 phylogenetic analyses suggest the microhelida are sister to the Cryptista, forming a pancryptista clade, as sister to the Archaeplastida.[2]
