Myzozoa[1] is a grouping of specific phyla within Alveolata,[2][3] that either feed through myzocytosis, or were ancestrally capable of feeding through myzocytosis.[1]
It is sometimes described as a phylum, containing the major subphyla Dinozoa and Apicomplexa, plus minor subphyla.[4]
The term Myzozoa superseded the previous term Miozoa, by the same authority, and gave a slightly altered meaning.[1]
