CRuMs
Clade of protists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CRuMs is a clade of microbial eukaryotes, whose name is an acronym of the following constituent groups: Collodictyonida, Rigifilida, and Mantamonas. It is a sister clade of the Amorphea.[3][1] A new CRuMs order Glissandrida was proposed in 2025 to place the yet unclassified genus Glissandra.[4] It more or less supersedes Varisulca, as Ancyromonadida are inferred not to be specifically related to the orders Diphylleida / Collodictyonida, Rigifilida and Mantamonadida.
