Mantamonads are a group of free-living heterotrophic flagellates that move primarily by gliding on surfaces (rather than swimming). They are classified as one genus Mantamonas in the monotypic family Mantamonadidae, order Mantamonadida, class Glissodiscea and phylum Mantamonadea.[2][6][7] Previously, they were classified in Apusozoa as sister of the Apusomonadida on the basis of rRNA analyses.[1][8] However, mantamonads are currently placed in CRuMs on the basis of phylogenomic analyses that identify their closest relatives as the Diphylleida and Rigifilida.[9][10]
