How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T8357352 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Parabasalia group
The Parabasalia group is a clade of flagellated, mostly anaerobic protists—many of them symbionts or parasites in animal guts—classified within the larger eukaryotic supergroup Excavata.
-
B.
Hypermastigida
Hypermastigida is an order of flagellated protists, many of which live as symbionts in the guts of wood-eating insects and help them digest cellulose.
-
C.
Kinetoplastea
Kinetoplastea is a class of flagellated protists best known for including parasitic species such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania, which cause serious diseases in humans and animals.
-
D.
Euglenida
Euglenida is a group of mostly unicellular, flagellated protists known for their flexible cell covering, distinctive feeding modes, and often photosynthetic members such as Euglena.
-
E.
Diplonemea
Diplonemea is a group of free-living, heterotrophic flagellate protists within the supergroup Excavata, notable for their distinctive mitochondrial genome organization and marine planktonic diversity.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Malawimonadida group Description of subject: The Malawimonadida group is a small, poorly understood lineage of free-living flagellated protists within the supergroup Excavata, important for studying early eukaryotic evolution.
