Around 1980 taxonomists started to use phylogeny as the main factor in classification. As a result, some Taxa have entered an ambiguous grey zone while taxonomists debate where to place them. Amoebas are among these. They were once part of a phylum known as Sarcodina, but are now given their own phylum Rhizopoda.

Tubulinea.

Some call the phylum Sarcodina. Sounds like the usual confusion in classifying protista.
