Conosa is a grouping of Amoebozoa. It is subdivided into three groups: Archamoeba, Variosea and Mycetozoa.[1][2]
In some classifications, the mycetozoan Myxogastria and Dictyostelia are united in Macromycetozoa.[citation needed]
Conosa includes the species Dictyostelium discoideum, a social amoeba, and Entamoeba histolytica, a human pathogen, among others.[3]
Conosa are morphologically defined by a conical microtubular structure,[1][4][5] and have been found to be monophyletic.[2][4]
