Phylogenetic analysis by maximum likelihood; parsimony and two distance methods shows that these two orders are related, supporting their classification in a revised class Sarcomonadea. Molecular divergence within <em>Cercomonas</em> is huge: as great as among all fungi or land plants. <em>Heteromita</em>, <em>Thaumatomonas</em> and euglyphid testate amoebae all apparently evolved from <em>Cercomonas</em>-like ancestors. Euglyphids and thaumatomonads, which both bear silicious scales, are more closely interrelated than are some species of <em>Cercomonas</em>.

Phylogenetic analysis of rRNA sequences representing all major lineages of neokaryotes (i.e. eukaryotes branching above Euglenozoa on molecular trees) shows that Rhizopoda are one of thirteen major neokaryote Glades and are phylogenetically distinct from lobose amoebae (subphylum Lobosa of the phylum Amoebozoa).
