Conosa

Conosa is a grouping of Amoebozoa. It is subdivided into three groups – Archamoebae, Variosea (paraphyletic) and Mycetozoa (polyphyletic).[1][2]

Dictyostelium discoideum
Scientific classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Phylum: Amoebozoa
Subphylum: Conosa
Cavalier-Smith, 1998

In some classifications, the mycetozoan Myxogastria and Dictyostelia are united in Macromycetozoa.

Conosa includes the species Dictyostelium discoideum and Entamoeba histolytica, among others.[3]
