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

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

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