Haptista is a group of protists made up of centrohelids and haptophytes. Phylogenomic studies indicate that Haptista is likely closely related to the TSAR supergroup. It is thus one of the earliest diverging Diaphoretickes.

Jamy et al. discovered the "leptophytes", a potential sister group to haptophytes detected through environmental DNA of plastids.
