Etymology

From 'euglenoid' + Latin '-ina' (suborder suffix). Created to provide more precise scientific classification of euglenoid organisms.

Kelly Says

Euglenoidina shows how deep taxonomic classification goes—scientists have divided and subdivided euglenoid organisms into so many categories that studying them reveals patterns in how life organizes itself at every level of complexity.
