Historically, euglenozoans have been treated as either plants or animals, depending on whether they belong to largely
photosynthetic groups or not. Hence they have names based on either the
International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICNafp) or the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). For example, one family has the name
Euglenaceae under the ICNafp and the name Euglenidae under the ICZN. As another example, the genus name
Dinema is acceptable under the ICZN, but
illegitimate under the ICNafp, as it is a later
homonym of an orchid genus, so that the synonym
Dinematomonas must be used instead. Both probably belong to a larger group of eukaryotes called the
Excavata. This grouping, though, has been challenged.
