Ochrophyta je skupina uglavnomfotosintskih heterokonta .[ 4] [ 5] plastidi vode porijeklo odcrvenih algi .[ 6]
Klasifikacija grupe se još uvek razrađuje. Neki autori (npr.Cavalier-Smith ) dijele je na dva potkoljena,Phaeista Cavalier-Smith 1995 (koje sadržiHypogyristea iChrysista u nekim klasifikacijama, iliLimnista iMarista u drugima) iKhakista Cavalier-Smith, 2000 (koja sadržiBolidomonas diatomeje ).[ 7] taksonomski rang potkoljena, navodeći samo nižetaksone .
