Conosa

Conosa is a grouping of Amoebozoa. It is subdivided into three groups: Archamoeba, Variosea and Mycetozoa.

In some classifications, the mycetozoan Myxogastria and Dictyostelia are united in Macromycetozoa (= Eumycetozoa).

Conosa includes the species Dictyostelium discoideum, a social amoeba, and Entamoeba histolytica, a human pathogen, among others.

Conosa are morphologically defined by a conical microtubular structure, and have been found to be monophyletic.
