The Monocystinae are a subfamily of parasitic alveolates in the
phylum
Apicomplexa.

There are seven genera in this subfamily.
The type genus is
Monocystis.
History
This subfamily was created by Bütschli in 1882
[1] and modified by Bhatia in 1930.
[2]
Description
The species in this subfamily are cylindroid in shape with a
mucron at the anterior end.
The trophozoites are solitary.
Syzygy occurs late in the life cycle.
They parasitise the

earthworms and are spread by the
orofaecal route.
