Amorphea [1] is a taxonomic supergroup that includes the basal Amoebozoa and Obazoa. That latter contains the Opisthokonta, which includes the Fungi, Animals and the Choanomonada, or Choanoflagellates. The taxonomic affinities of the members of this clade were originally described and proposed by Thomas Cavalier-Smith in 2002.

The clade Amorphea is composed of Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa, Apusomonadida, Breviata, Subulatomonas, and probably Ancyromonadida and Mantamonas, as defined here. The primary reference phylogeny for Amorphea is Minge et al. (2009, Fig. 2). However, this figure is not intended to communicate that the root of the eukaryote tree falls within Amorphea ...
