Diaphoretickes is a large group of eukaryotic organisms. There are over 400,000 species. Most of the Earth's biomass which does photosynthesis is in this group.

All the living things in Diaphoretickes are Eukaryotes: they are complicated cells with organelles. Most plants that make energy out of light are in Diaphoretickes.^[1] Only Euglenozoa and blue-green algae are not.

The group includes:

• Archaeplastida (red algae, glaucophytes, green algae and plants)
• Cryptista
• Haptista
• SAR supergroup (stramenopiles, alveolates, and Rhizaria)
• Telonemia

In 2012, this megagroup was defined.^[2]
