'''Discoba''' is a diverse lineage of single-celled [protist](/source/protist)s with two [flagella](/source/flagella). It is one of the main [supergroups](/source/supergroup_(biology)) of eukaryotes, robustly supported by [phylogenetic analyses](/source/phylogenetic_analyses). It contains three major groups: the [Euglenozoa](/source/Euglenozoa), [Heterolobosea](/source/Heterolobosea), and [Jakobida](/source/Jakobida), as well as the species ''[Tsukubamonas globosa](/source/Tsukubamonas_globosa)''.<ref name="Hampl-2009">{{cite journal | last1=Hampl | first1=Vladimir | last2=Hug | first2=Laura | last3=Leigh | first3=Jessica W. | last4=Dacks | first4=Joel B. | last5=Lang | first5=B.
