PLATE XVIII.
Proposed phylogeny for the 15 orders comprising the four subclasses of the
class Kinetofragminophora
(CORLISS 1979).
Groups at the same level in the classificational hierarchy (i.e., at parallel taxonomic ranks in the Corlissian system) are depicted in a similar style. Phylogenetic relatedness is roughly indicated by inclusion, overlapping, or separationdistance of the various circles and/or by "interconnecting" arrows. Question marks appear sparingly, since the entire diagram is highly speculative. (See text for discussion.)
