Raphopoda is a grouping of heterotrophic protists. It contains the heterotroph organisms within class Raphidomonadea, classified as two orders: Commatiida, comprised by the sole genus of flagellates Commation, and Actinophryida, an order of heliozoa, amoebae with stiff specialized pseudopodia called axopodia.[1][2]
