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.
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.
