An alternative to the

UnikontBikont division was suggested by Derelle et al. in 2015,[1] where they proposed the acronyms Opimoda–Diphoda respectively, as substitutes to the older terms (Opimoda includes the old 'unikonts', plus some former bikonts; Diphoda includes most of the old 'bikonts', but not all).

. In this phylogeny Discoba belongs to the Diphoda clade.
