Validation and justification of the phylum name Cryptomycota phyl. nov. by M.D.M. Jones, T.A. Richards, D.L. Hawksworth, D. Bass

“…This name is preferred over the previously tentatively proposed “Rozellida” as new data suggest that the life-style and morphology of Rozella is not representative of the large radiation to which it and other Cryptomycota belong. Furthermore, taxa at higher ranks such as phylum are considered better not based on individual names of included genera, but rather on some special characteristics – in this case the cryptic nature of this group and that they were initially revealed by molecular methods rather than morphological discovery. …”
