Pediglissa (from Ancient Greek πέδον 'soil' and French glisser 'to glide') is a subclass of phagotrophic protists that inhabit soil or freshwater habitats. They were defined in 2018 according to phylogenetic analyses that showed a clade containing the orders Cercomonadida and Glissomonadida. They're the sister group of Paracercomonadida.[1]
