Editing Centrohelid (section)

=== History ===
The evolutionary position of the centrohelids is not clear.  Structural comparisons with other groups are difficult, in part because no [[flagellum|flagella]] occur among centrohelids, and genetic studies have been more or less inconclusive.  Cavalier-Smith has suggested they may be related to the [[Rhizaria]],<ref name="pmid12664159">{{cite journal |vauthors=Cavalier-Smith T, Chao EE |title=Molecular phylogeny of centrohelid heliozoa, a novel lineage of bikont eukaryotes that arose by ciliary loss |journal=J.
