Halvaria

Chromalveolata
Clockwise from top-left: a haptophyte, some diatoms, a water mold, a cryptomonad, and Macrocystis, a phaeophyte. The diatoms, water mold, and Macrocystis are halvarians.

Halvaria is a grouping that includes Alveolata and Heterokonta (Stramenopiles).[1]

Analyses in 2007 and 2008 agree that the Stramenopiles and the Alveolata are related, forming a reduced chromalveolate clade. They group together with the Rhizaria (originally one of the six major eukaryote groups) to form a clade dubbed the SAR supergroup.[2][3][4]
