N2 - “Heliozoa” is a former taxon of spherical axopodial protists. These organisms, being outwardly similar have revealed to be not necessarily related. Some of lineages are now placed into the proper “supergroups”, while many deviant forms still remain “orphans”. The most diverse group – the centrohelids – recently was placed in Haptista along with haptophytes and their internal taxonomy also was considerably revised showing interesting examples of parallel evolution. But in comparison to other groups with a developed taxonomy “Heliozoa” still seem to be undeservingly neglected. Many taxa of flagellates, ciliates and in a less degree of amoebae get much more attention, while heliozoan taxonomy suffer from the lack of skilled taxonomists. The great amount of their diversity is likely to be unknown. The heliozoans require closer attention, being ubiquitous in freshwater, marine (both planktonic and benthic) and soil environments, important consumers of bacteria, protists and even micrometazoans. But the taxonomic i
