Gyrista is a phylum of heterokont protists containing two important ecological groups: the highly diverse and mostly photosynthetic Ochrophyta, and the parasitic Pseudofungi, as well as a recently described third group known as Bigyromonada.[2] Members of this phylum are characterized by the presence of a helix or a double helix/ring system in the ciliary transition region.[1]

Gyrista is the sister group to phylum Bigyra, which contains the Sagenista and Opalozoa. Together, Gyrista and Bigyra form the superphylum Stramenopiles or Heterokonta.[3]
