xenophagy
While making xenophagy a subclass of (macro)autophagy may seem to directly contradict the definition of autophagy (literally self eating), it is clear that the same pathway is involved as in macroautophagy that doesn't target foreign material: formation of double-membrane-bounded autophagosomes that enclose a region of cytoplasm for degradation.
