Line 33:
There are ~900 species of sepate gregarines and ~400 of aseptate.
 
A revision to the taxonomy of this group has been proposed. Instead of the division into aseptate and septate taxa five new superfamilies have been proposed on the basis of 18s RNA studies. These are ''[[Actinocephaloidea]]'' (which is an ancestral and paraphyletic taxon), [[Ancoroidea]], ''[[Gregarinoide]] and ''[[Cephaloidophoroidea]]'' and ''[[Lecudinoidea]]''.
A superfamily has also been created - ''[[Cephaloidophoroidea]]''.
 
These proposed superfamilies have yet to reach general approval.
