Conosa
group of amoebozoans
The Conosa is one of three subphyla in the Amoebozoa. It is subdivided into two infraphyla – the Mycetozoa and the Archamoebae.[1][2]
- Mycetozoa: a group of slime moulds.
- Archamoebae: distinguishing mark: they have no mitochondria.

Conosa includes the species Dictyostelium discoideum and Entamoeba histolytica, among others.[3]
About 2000 species are known, and probably there are many more. Because these cells have few visible characteristics, they do look rather alike: "they exhibit few morphological traits that can be used as taxonomic characters".[2] As their molecular biology becomes known, many species may get split.
