Orthozoa vs. Selenaionea

According to a 2025 study by Pánek et al., Orthozoa is not a clade, but Selenaionea is, and Selenaionea contains Selenaionidae (taking priority over Lunosea) and Neovahlkampfiidae. Alfa-ketosav (talk) 15:03, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This just made my day. I looked at this new study and not only did they describe Selenaionea, they also analyzed the relationships of ALL Heterolobosea ("Percolozoa") and established a new and coherent taxonomy of classes and orders that substitutes the incoherent mess from before (with Cavalier-Smith's obsolete naming system and para/polyphyletic taxa). Finally they have reached consensus! @Alfa-ketosav thank you for bringing this up, I will update the template as soon as I can — Snoteleks (talk) 15:41, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
