An alternative to the
Unikont–
Bikont division was suggested by Derelle et al. in 2015,[1] where they proposed the
acronymsOpimoda–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). The name Opimoda is formed from the letters (shown in capitals) of
OPIsthokonta and
aMOebozoa. In this phylogeny Discoba belongs to the Diphoda clade.
