A superfamily or group of parasitic protozoans related to gregarines, used in certain taxonomic systems.
From gregarina plus -oidea (superfamily designation in taxonomy). Represents a higher classification level than family.
The '-oidea' suffix signals the highest rank in this naming system—it groups together multiple families of related organisms, showing how taxonomy creates a pyramid of organization from species to superfamily.
