In the classification of eukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus), '''Cabozoa''' was a taxon proposed by Cavalier-Smith.<ref name="pmid18092388">{{cite journal |author=Cavalier-Smith T |title=Principles of protein and lipid targeting in secondary symbiogenesis: euglenoid, dinoflagellate, and sporozoan plastid origins and the eukaryote family tree |journal=J.

More recent research places the Rhizaria with the Alveolata and Stramenopiles instead of the Excavata, however, so "Cabozoa" is polyphyletic.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Burki F, Shalchian-Tabrizi K, Minge M, Skjæveland Å, Nikolaev SI | editor1-last = Butler | year = 2007 | editor1-first = Geraldine | title = Phylogenomics Reshuffles the Eukaryotic Supergroups | journal = PLOS ONE | volume = 2 | issue = 8: e790 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0000790 | pages = e790 | pmid = 17726520 | pmc = 1949142|display-authors=etal| bibcode = 2007PLoSO...2..790B | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Zicha |first=Ondrej |title=BioLib: Biological library |url=https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id322927/ |access-date=17 March 2023 |website=www.biolib.cz}}</ref>
