Abstract Winthout close phylogenetic ties to any of the other algae, the Euglenophyta are a taxonomic enigma. The argument is made here that the euglenophytes have extensive morphological homology with the zooflagellte trypanosomatids, bodonids, andIsonema. A phylogenetic sequence is postulated linking these group; the available data suggest that the euglenophytes had their origin in these zooflagellates and that the introduction of the chloroplast and a phototrophic mode of nutrition was a relatively late step in this evolutionary process.
